Expressive Art Inspired by Nature, Travel, and Spirituality

My Studio for Fine Art is an atelier for the production of my original prints and paintings and a facility for mentoring drawing, watercolor and painting. The studio is located in a separate building at my North End of Nashua home.

I remember one of my college roommates saying “Loretta, You’re the sort of person who would find meaning in a falling leaf! “ I thought “Doesn’t everybody find meaning in a falling leaf? If not, why not?”

By creatively re-imagining the specific, I invoke the universal. For my religious art, I reverse the process from concept to specific, as in my images inspired by the Old and New Testament. But I still have the objective to give pleasure to the imagination of the viewer, give validation to their intuitive musings, and to enrich the scope and depth of those verbal or nonverbal musings.

The Studio for Fine Art is a place to view and purchase my original works of art. It is also a comfortable space for me to give art instruction individually or in groups of two or three. It is located in the North End of Nashua NH, at 22A Berkeley St.

Viewings of my art and art instruction is by arrangement; call (603) 595-2485, a landline with a message machine, and please leave your number for a return call.

My teaching method strives to bring out your personal creativity while giving a foundation in design through exposure to a variety of media and techniques.

(The Studio for Fine Art originated in Ann Arbor, MI in 1977 as The Studio for Lithography & Etching. It taught beginning to advanced levels of these techniques to both new art students and art graduates of the University of Michigan.)

My artistic goal is to use evocative and symbolic imagery to create expressive art. I seek to evoke a significant visual memory, association, or vision for the viewer to contemplate & enjoy. I hope to touch the imagination of the viewer by using sensual shapes and colorful textures with varied details, harmonies and contrasts to create an intuitive perception and to entertain on a sensually abstract level.

Artist’s Statement

NH art critic Ellen Grimm says Loretta’s process uses “recomposing rather than recreating” her images, and is still searching for “a hidden message.”

Julie Lonneman, publisher of religious art, says Loretta’s color etchings are “beautiful” and that her “spiritually-based images look really spiritual” and “not so literal as many” she has viewed in her past twenty-year publishing career.

Cynthia Jones, of Nashua’s “The Telegraph,” wrote that Loretta’s “prints display a deep appreciation of for color, texture and imagery with intricate design that creates the uniqueness of her art…and as surely as she is an artist, Hubley is a teacher.”

Studio for Fine Art

My major technique of expression has been Intaglio printmaking. I create large, colorful and very textured etchings. I also paint in watercolor and in water-based oils on canvas. I am a retired professor but still mentor students in my private Nashua North End studio, called the Studio for Fine Art.
