leavenworth


Almost 100 miles before we reached leavenworth, this small city was recommended to us because of it´s pork knuckles. The small town is the answer for all homesick bavarians. They had stapled boards to the walls to immitate studword houses and in the central square there is the white-blue maypole, – maybe all year round. By the way: the fairy tale „from a dish washer to a millionaire“ no longer can come true in america, plastic cutlery and paper plates have knocked this dream career on the head.

hope


Hope is a small town on the shores of lake pend oreille, which comes alive during summer. Many americans have their summer residences in hope, so does sharon and gus kopriva. Sharon, the great artist from houston, had invited us to come and so we stood a few days in here back yard. Thank you sharon for your hospitality, and thank you that you have introduced us to your friends. great and we had a very nice time at your place and with you as well.

jeff hughart


Jeff hughart was born and raised in southern california. For a long time he lived in san francisco and tokyo and encouraged by his girl friend (also an artist) he began to paint in 2002. His images are often raw, emotional, colorful and full of energy. Influences probably from his punk rock past, as he himself says, and inspired by artists such as basquiat, sesow and others.

Jeff works and lives in bonners ferry, idaho, and his art can be found by collectors worldwide.
