Ann Huston Studio
Fine Art Pastel Painting
VISIT ARTIST'S WEBSITE
Huston’s paintings are a quiet study of our inner and outer selves.
There is always a space that contains a story; ​there is always a path that leads us on into our own story.
The solitude and peace that we all seek is in the magic of Ann’s work.
Painting is my form of meditation: it is going to a place of calm and quiet strength. My inspiration comes from the Northern New Mexico landscape, the high-altitude light, and the mysteries surrounding the old places. Inspirations’ come from emotions and dreams.

Fibers. Felt. Art.
​An invitation to nourishment.
“Art heals. It is an invitation
to transformation, deep nourishment, and joy; a path
​to our center. Art heals.”
— Cheryl R. Janis | Modern Artisan Maker
I donate a percentage of my
profits to farm animal sanctuaries, and I only use
​ethically and sustainably sourced fibers in all of my work. 
The integration of dry needle sculpting the feathery fibers
​into the work evokes the soft iridescent qualities of nourishment—the clouds, the rainbows, the heavenly realms
​of all that is—into a unified structure.
Instagram
My textile art is a radical act of healing; a return to nourishment
and self love. Through the
alchemy of wet felting, transforming the individual wool fibers into a solid cloth, the pain of separation is transmuted and we are returned to the unconditional love of the Mother, akin to the drop of water who is finally reunited with her ocean.

He teaches private landscape, portrait and platinum/palladium darkroom. Students come from all over the globe to study with this master photographer and printer. His state of the art darkroom is open to visitors to tour and see first hand how and where his work is made.

Though I have worked in many mediums, I have chosen to work primarily on paper; painting and drawing.  My choice of medium is gouache.  I am a hard edge painter.    I have been seriously working with grids since the early nineties.  When I lived in Houston I worked with grids made up of squares. Upon moving to Taos, New Mexico, it was the addition of the random diagonal line, which creates compositions of squares, triangles, and some unexpected shapes.  It is the diagonal line which allows me to think of the landscape of New Mexico; rivers, mountains, and sky.  It is not that I expect the viewer to see what I see, but it is to explain where my inspiration comes from.  

I am an artist who is in the studio everyday, I love to paint and to draw, and I have been doing it for almost five decades.  I have learned  that "to be an artist," is a life-time study. For me, two of the reasons I keep "at it"  are;  the goal is illusive,  and it is always just out of reach.
