AAC gallery features the work of Hough

The work of Tanya Hough is featured in an exhibition this month at the Ashtabula Arts Center’s Humphrey Gallery.

Hough studied at Ringling School of Art. After retiring from teaching, she began painting full-time, largely to help navigate the anxiety and grief surrounding the decline of her aging parents. From there, painting morphed into a way of life, and she continues to master her craft.

According to the artist, “Color has always attracted my imagination and exploring it in paintings makes me happy. I paint primarily with acrylics, though I immerse myself in other media such as colored pencil, watercolor and occasional multimedia and collage. I love the challenges of new subjects and varied approaches, and I adore using the palette knife and varying brushwork and surfaces.”

One of her paintings “That Banyan Tree” is the cover art for “Banyan Moon,” a novel by Thao Thai, released June 2023.

“Goin’ With the Flow: The Art of Tanya Hough” runs through July at the center, 2928 W. 13th St., Ashtabula. A reception is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday.

Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.
