| Currently residing in Colorado but making frequent return trips to New Mexico and back East, Hubicki continues to express his wonder of nature, and his love of the expressive qualities of paint, on canvas. Hubicki's scope is extended in his genre paintings of farmer markets and auctions in which he also instills social and decorative qualities. ----- Working in oil and presently influenced by the Ashcan School of painters, Bellows in particular, Hubicki employs the use of paint texture, color and light to emotionally connect with the viewer. ----- Frederick R.
