my simple story...
I really did grow up on a potato farm in beautiful Midwest America. My mother a Mexican migrant worker from the south and my pops a first generation German farmer "making his way." Their "love story" is a great one... if interested ask me about it. It is definitely filled with "triumph & tragedy!" I was lucky to have found my "true love" early on, ART and Photography which really to me means "people in places." Like many other photographers I am inspired and curious by people and the ways in which they live. Forever curious, forever young and forever taking a chance to see life and its random circumstance. I studied art at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design and earned my MFA at the University of Wisconsin Madison. My mentors are many and I am lucky for that... Over the last twenty years I have worked on many fine art, commercial and journalistic projects using various camera formats and lighting conditions. I sure hope to keep them coming... I am fortunate to have over a decade of teaching experience at various schools like the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, & as a Graduate student I served as a TA at the University WI - Madison in the Art Department, I also served as an Adjunct Photo Prof at Carthage College, & my longest run (11 Years) was a Photo Faculty member in the Media & Creative Arts Department at the Milwaukee Area Technical College. But... then of course a new "life circumstance" the West came calling.... So as it stands I travel from the West to the Midwest to the West still making pictures! Still searching, still in love & still "dancing with strangers." Call, text or Email me if you would like to see a specific collection of work or a show listing. I intentionally have ex-cluded all color from my site... http://www.mariaellenhuebner.com/ Some Clients & Publications Goodwill Industries, Boys and Girls Club, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Washington Post, Milwaukee Magazine, Shepard Express, Time Warner Cable, Fine Woodworking Magazine, Working Mother Magazine, Milwaukee Public Museum, Wisconsin Dells Convention & Visitors Bureau, Milwaukee Police Department, Milwaukee County Transit, MKE Magazine, Cramer-Krasselt, Hoffman York, Griffin Design, Boelter + Lincoln, Hanson Dodge Creative Born in 1968 and raised in Utah, Cindy developed a love of the wide open spaces of the Intermountain West.

Acrylic, Oil, & Bedazzled artwork by Jonny Hatch
Born and raised in Houston, TX, self-taught painter Jonny Hatch creates surreal and dreamy images (usually landscapes) inspired by the texture of paint, nature, landmarks, and space. Since moving to Cache Valley 4 years ago, he saw a need to fill the blank spaces on his wall and began a series of artworks that now spans over 100 images, including acrylic and oil paintings, black light fluorescent paintings, as well as crystal mosaics. Most of the artworks are not initialed on the front so as not to distract from the image. Breanna Klamm is a photographer currently studding at Utah State University. She was raised in north east Wyoming, and was the oldest of three kids. When her parents got her a point and shoot camera at age 10, Breanna fell in love with photography. A high school art teacher helped push her in the right direction and everything in her life has led her to where she is right now, Logan, Utah. Utah State University has done much to further her career. In the summer of 2013 Breanna was able to travel to Europe visiting 7 countries. She fell in love with the German culture and was determined to go back. The next summer she had just that opportunity when she completed a study abroad to Germany. She studied different mediums of art, the environment and art, and art history. Throughout her career as an artist Breanna has won many awards and honors for her art. Some of her most prestigious awards were, she won over 20 blue ribbons at the Wyoming State Art Symposium. She was also awarded the Wyoming State Congressional Award for a photograph. Her senior year she was awarded the top scholarship, called the Tina Nova, for the state of Wyoming. She also received the national Star Scholarship for her photography.
