Army Reserve Master Sgt. Renee Hamilton, one of eight children of artistic parents, had paintings displayed in art galleries in Palm Beach, Fla., as a young girl. Throughout her life, she has remained in touch with the limelight by singing, modeling, dancing with a troupe in the Caribbean, appearing on Black Entertainment Television with other Soldiers and serving as a makeup artist. Hamilton daydreams about doing makeup for her mother, who died 12 years ago, and First Lady Michelle Obama. Hamilton first saw the U.S. Army Soldier Show in 1999 while in Basic Training at Fort Jackson, S.C. “I said then: ‘I will be a part of this one day, and at the right time,’” said Hamilton, 32. “This is the right time to contribute to such a great production and touch the lives of many. My initial interest was to do makeup alone … but I think being on stage as an entertainer really satisfies another interest deep within that I have not touched on in awhile. Maybe my current passion just brought me closer to my original love.” U.S. Army photo by Tim Hipps, IMCOM Public Affairs
