Artist's Biography

My name is Pat Huber.  Welcome to my website.  Feel free to contact me at patriciahuber@comcast.net.

My fine arts background began at an early age through the influence of my mother, a gifted artist.  As a child I remember having an emotional connection with paintings.  My family had a large illustrated family Bible containing art from the masters and I would study, with wonder, Briton Riviere's painting of Daniel in The Lions' Den.  I felt the same awe on my first visit to a museum.  My emotional connection with fine art has only grown over time.

My education was supposed to be complete with a masters degree from the University of Oregon in Health Education.  However, after teaching several years, I returned to college to study interior design at Cornish Art Institute in Seattle, Washington.  At Cornish, I reconnected with the arts and learned to draw properly.

I subsequently practiced interior design for over 20 years, also taking art classes on the side including drawing, painting, sculpture and even welding.  In 2003 I began to draw and paint full time. 

I live in Salinas, in Monterey County, California.  My husband and I have an "empty nest"and two amazing sons in their twenties.

I am an artist with a Christian world view, in that God is the Creator of this amazing world and He actively pursues a relationship with every human being, each one of great value.  I see beauty in that mystery, and it is that which inspires me to paint life. 

I hope you enjoy my website.  Please feel free to contact me to view my paintings "in person."  Thank you.  Pat
