About Us
"The Artist and his Studio"

I live and have my studio in the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, which enables me to plein air paint some of nature’s most breathtaking scenery. I love to climb around these mountains with my Labrador retrievers, my flyrod and, of course, my easel, brushes and paint. I often paint first and then fish but I will forgo the fishing for a good painting any day. Back in my studio, which is thirty or so feet from my back door, I often transpose the smaller plein air studies on larger canvases. Recently a couple of other artists and I here in Salida, CO, have started the Colorado Mountain Plein Air Festival that takes place every September.

Drawing: I have been drawing since my father sat me on his lap when I was a small boy and asked me what I wanted him to draw. He would comply and then it was my turn to honor his request. No nudes back then, but as an adult who has traveled around the country (USA) I have always been able to find or start a life drawing and painting group, no matter how large (New York, NY) or small the town (South Paris, ME).

Art Education: I started early, around eleven or twelve years old, attending Saturday morning watercolor classes at the Rensselaer Historical Society in my birth city, Troy, NY with Robert Henry. Henry was also one of my art teachers in high school. After graduating from Troy High I headed straight to New York City and the School of Visual Arts (SVA). At SVA I studied with many well-known professional artists like Burne Hogarth, Jack Potter, Robert Andrew Parker, George Ortman, Michael Loew and Alice Neel. After graduation I took a job as a graphic designer/art director in the publication department of New York University. There I continued my studies in painting, sculpture and film in the evenings.

For over twenty years I painted and practiced commercial art in New York City, working at various times as a graphic designer, illustrator, art director or creative director for publishers, record companies and advertising agencies.

In New York I painted abstracts, participated in group shows and had a one-man show at the Lynn Knothler Galleries in 1967. During this period my work was influenced by the abstract expressionists as well as Henri Matisse. My work is in many private collections as well as the collections of companies such as the Gruen Watch Corporation, the A&P Corporation, Leisurecraft Industries, and YKK Zippers USA Inc.

After New York, I lived and painted in Vermont for many years, showing at various local galleries and participating in the Vermont Visual Artist programs of 1989 and 1990 at the Vermont Studio School & Colony. During this period I painted in oil and began to devote more time to landscapes and genre paintings of farmers markets and country auctions.

From 1991 until 1996 I lived in Santa Fe, NM and climbed around the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez mountains, painting the New Mexico landscape. My work was shown at the Estes Design International Gallery in Santa Fe and at the Gold Hills Gallery in Madrid.

1996 and 1997 found me in Maine, painting seascapes in oil much in the manner of Homer, Bellows and Henri. I also continued my genre painting. Plein air seascapes are a whole new discipline, adding the movement of the water, tides and moisture to the arc of the sun, the wind, the weather and timing.

1998 to the present finds me living here in Salida, Colorado and painting scenes of the Arkansas River Valley and the Rocky Mountains. I am a member of the Art of the Rockies Association, the Arkansas Valley Art Center, and president of the Colorado Mountain Plein Air Festival. I am presently working on a large format (4’ x 4’) series of the Rocky Mountains in oil on canvas. I love painting large! I love really getting into the painting and paint to the point where you can feel it as it flows onto the surface. Wow, what pleasure when it is going right! Paintings in the Rocky Mountain Series are very contemporary, somewhat abstract in character and I will be showing them soon on Ruby Lane. Please stay tuned into Hubicki’s Fine Art Studio.

I hope you enjoy my art, first and foremost, and perhaps you will want to collect some of it.
