Hunter Buck has been creating art ever since he could grip a crayon. It had always been highly valued in his family and the way he was raised. He grew up watching and working with artists as parents, and couldn’t really imagine doing anything else. “Like mother and father, like son.” Hunter was never pressured to attend art school or make art, but it was an inspiring experience to see loved ones in his life making a living with their passions. “Someday I will have that same passion.”
Hunter was born in Bozeman, Montana in 1987. However, he had the pleasure of living in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii for much of his early years Both cultures have been very significant influences on his life and work. He is currently a senior attending Western Washington University in Bellingham, where he studies painting and printmaking. Both street art and fine art have had a profound influence on his work, and he finds beauty in taking aspects from both and combining them to create a narrative for the viewer.
*Hunter works primarily with oil paints, but his most recent works have been multi-media pieces. With combining silk-screen, drawing, photo collage and his paintings, he creates an application similar to printmaking. He really enjoys screen-printing, relief, and lithography printmaking.
