Damian Stamer paints contemporary landscapes that explore the concepts of home and homeland. Growing up in rural North Carolina, he uses the pastoral imagery of his childhood to construct interpretations of memory, time, and space.

He has studied internationally at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest, Hungary, and the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design, Germany. Damian received his B.F.A. from Arizona State University (summa cum laude) and is currently pursuing his MFA at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has exhibited extensively in the U.S. and abroad. Damian lives and works in Chapel Hill, NC, and Brooklyn, NY.
