Hames holds an MFA from Northern Illinois University and a BFA from Minnesota State University Moorhead. In 2012 she was accepted into the world-renowned Tamarind Institute to study fine art lithography, and in 2013 was solely chosen to continue as a second year apprentice printer before being awarded a Tamarind Master Printer Certification.
