Our Story
In November, my sister Lisa Hock — founder of Huntington Fine Arts and the heart of this studio — passed away. It's impossible to put into words how much she meant to this place and to all of us.
Lisa built something truly special here, and I feel incredibly honored to carry forward the dream she worked so hard to create. In her seventeen years as Director, she inspired hundreds of young artists to chase their dreams, work hard, and have fun doing it.
I'll be the first to admit: I'm not the artist in the family. But I've brought in a team of talented, passionate individuals who are here to make sure Huntington Fine Arts continues to thrive. They bring fresh energy, serious expertise, and the same commitment to excellence that Lisa was known for.
