Art Brokerage: A graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art, Hughes began his career as an exhibits designer and paper mache sculptor. After service in the army he joined the staff of a film production company as an animation and art director. Several years later he formed his own animation company and created hundreds of animated sequences for entertainment, education, and industry, earning many awards along the way. His list of clients include National Geographic Society, Smithsonian Institution, NBC, and PBS. Sculpture was an interest that persisted since the beginning of Hughes' career. He began directing more time and energy to the medium, discovering and opening new opportunities for expression. His figurative, limited edition bronzes soon caught the attention of collectors and acceptance in nationally competitive shows. Today, in private collections or public sites his work lightens the spirit of the many who enjoy his work. Recognized for form, originality and wit, Gary Hughes' work is found in a growing number of collections and public sites from coast to coast and abroad.
