VISUAL ARTIST
Hugh Partridge
Hugh is a self-taught artist from BC who often finds his greatest inspiration from everyday surroundings and interactions. Working in a variety of mediums, he will often paint outdoors from observation, a technique that is often referred to as ‘plein air’ painting. His goal is to use artistic expression to capture moments in time that tell a story, inspire, and resonate with people.
