For the past 16 years Hugh has been creating fine art prints for his "Angler Series". Those prints start with an impression of fish that Hugh and his son Alexander catch on their fishing adventures. To make these impressions Hugh paints the body of the fish with tempra or acrylic paint then transfers the shape and detail to cotton fabric or other material. Once the image is dry a high resolution scan is made allowing the image to be brought into the computer whereby layering with photographic, hand painted, and found objects are used to create the final limited edition print.

During 2007 Hugh began to utilize fabrics and bamboo as a method to display his original gyo-taku impressions.

"The use of silk, cotton, burlap combined with the natural look and texture of bamboo has brought a totally new way to display my art. I like that the work appears unconstrained without the use of framed rectangular edges. The aesthetic is very free flowing and elegant.

For many years, I have stored these prints in boxes taking them out only to show people how my creative process develops from its primitive first stage to the more refined limited edition print", said Hugh.

Hugh commented further adding, "I enjoy the simplicity and character of the hangings. Each work shows paint splatters, or the imprints of brushes, paint cans or finger prints from my hand. There is something very personal about each of them. The markings chronicle each print session like a hidden story".
