VISUAL ARTIST

Hugh Partridge

Welcome! I am a self-taught artist from Canada with a passion for all things creative. My main outlet for creativity is painting, using watercolors, gouache, or oil paints.

While working in a variety of mediums, I tend to find my greatest inspiration from everyday surroundings and interactions. Simply stated, my goal is to use artistic expression to capture moments in time that tell a story, inspire, and resonate with people.

“So much of my journey artistically has to do with where I have travelled, and the amazing people I have met along the way. These are the ingredients that inspire me to create.”
