Welcome,
Thank you for visiting Huck's art. Please browse the clickable
links and linked pictures and Enjoy!
Brief:
Huck embraced his artistic spirit early in life and first began
painting with oils at age twelve. He openly acknowledges that his
love for art classes and a part time job at a small pottery were
what got him through high school. Those same artistic
tendencies eventually led to a BFA from Northern Arizona
University. Graduating cum laude with a painting emphasis and
K-12 art teaching credentials he then devoted himself to eight
years service as a public school art teacher.
Now a full time artist, Huck is working to capture pieces of his
cultural heritage but more importantly he makes art as an attempt
to express his devotion to the natural world. He possesses a
broad knowledge of art, natural history and the painters craft and
his work reflects a deep connection to the land and its varied
inhabitants.
Influenced by many masters, mentors and schools of art and
guided by his years of teaching experience Huck manages to
maintain a beginner's heart. His current motto, adopted from
Michelangelo, "Ancora Imparo" or "I am still learning" has
manifested itself as an interest in plein air workshops and
paint-outs.
Statement:
"Nature is my greatest inspiration and I strive to respond to her in
harmonious and respectful ways. I let my reverence for the land
guide me as I wander about searching for subjects to sketch,
paint or photograph. I am drawn to dramatic skies and intense
contrast but also can appreciate the calming nature of more
pastoral scenes. Ultimately the process and products of my craft
come down to a simple but abiding love of beauty and an
enduring quest for glimpses of the sublime."
"In that quest I have sipped from sweet perennial springs as well
as brackish mosquito infested seeps. I've climbed and sat atop
towering red rock spires, scaled jagged alpine peaks and
scrambled into and squeezed through breathtaking narrows. I've
navigated dry and flooded creek-beds, floated meandering
streams, rafted boulder strewn rapids and kayaked glass smooth
and storm tossed seas from British Columbia to Baja California. I
have slept so many nights outside that I no longer count them
and still I am in perpetual awe of the beauty I encounter. The
world displays her wonders for all to see and thankfully I get to
take more than just memories away with me."

"A man's work is nothing but this
slow trek to rediscover, through the
detours of art, those two or three
simple images in whose presence
his heart first opened."
