His commitment to “making visible the unseen” is evident in his body of work, which skillfully bridges gestural and color field abstraction. This retrospective exhibition showcases Huebner’s remarkable ability to convey vibrant colors, dynamic compositions, musical qualities, and a profound connection to the spiritual beliefs of Native American cultures. Through his paintings, Huebner delves into the intricate tapestry of human emotions and the perpetual pursuit of equilibrium in a tumultuous world.

With a history of 32 solo exhibitions, over 80 group and juried exhibitions, and numerous accolades, his impact on the art community is undeniable.
