An intuitive, self-taught visionary artist, Harbour forgoes brushes and uses her hands to apply paint. Her work is sensory and emotional. Signature pieces involve the layering and interweaving of human figures, animals, archetypes and natural elements. Hamrick is devoted to studying human emotions, researching color theory, and paying special attention to how light interacts with color. Hamrick’s art can be found in several private art collections around the United States, as well as art galleries around the world.

Brian is also a dedicated educator. In addition to his duties teaching courses in design, drawing, painting, senior research, serving as director of The Arnold Art Gallery (in which he has provided the Shorter community with over 40 Guest Artist Exhibits including artists from Russia, Japan, Mexico, China, Spain, Great Britain and Africa) and serving as the art department Chair-person, he also teaches additional courses in Contemporary Women Artists, Multi-cultural Issues in Art, Spiritualism in Art and Biblical Symbology in Art. In 2001, Brian was the recipient of the Shorter College Teaching Excellence and Campus Leadership Award (at that time he was the youngest faculty member in the History of the College to receive the award). Off campus, Brian is a founding member of The Arts in Medicine Program at Floyd Medical Center in Rome, Georgia and co-founder of The Creative Learning Center (an education center for children with learning challenges) in Atlanta, Georgia. When asked about all of his accomplishments Professor Brian Taylor simply states “the thing that I am most proud of is being a member of the Shorter faculty."
He brings to the classroom a love for all manner of creative expression, believing that visual literacy is an important part of any education. A better understanding of the visual arts is useful in any discipline, and more so for imaging, considering its ubiquitous presence in our daily lives. “God must’ve loved potters and photographers, since he made so many of us.” Teaching classes in photography, computer art, art history and art appreciation, Mills strives to help students integrate theory, technique, and production.
