Hugh graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in industrial design. He worked over forty years in the architectural field. Hugh's work in painting is based on his formal training as an architectural delineator, but he is always open to new avenues to accomplish a consistent end result.

Award" from the Watercolor Missouri National 2009 for his painting "Family Cycle."
