2D Featured Artist
Painter, Robert Huntoon
Hailing from Vermont, Featured 2D Artist Robert Huntoon is an award winning oil painter who has exhibited and taught painting locally and nationally. He grew up in a home surrounded by art and nature, and from a very young age was drawn to landscapes. Living amidst the lush hills and river valleys of his home state and teaching art for the best part of his life, Bob developed the technical skills for distilling the natural world into painted images. As he explains, “I like the constant stimulation and the challenges” of landscape painting, and “I try to capture nature so that somebody else can see it the way I do.” Now living and working here in North Carolina, he has “relearned the language of landscape . . . approaching our beautiful coastal panoramas with greater maturity and respect for what we've been blessed.”
