Rock Hushka

Rock Hushka is an embroidery artist who was also awarded the title of art curator at the Tacoma Art Museum. Hushka began his studies at North Dakota State University and eventually moved on to studying at the University of Washington where he received his B.A. in History, his B.A. in Art History and his B.F.A. After graduating from the UW he was accepted at the University of Wisconsin Madison where he received his M.A in Art History.

As an artist he works on designs that use flowery and dainty forms. I also noticed that the colors he uses  are almost muted in some works but very vibrant and diverse in others. The simplicity of his forms are complimented by the materials as well as the relationships between the colors. 

Since 2004, most of Hushka's time has been focused on being a curator at the TAM. He has also worked on several publications regarding exhibitions that he has curated. Hushka is also interested in giving lectures at several schools around the Northwest including the UW where he taught several advanced technique classes.
