The wild boy represents the unbridled and  untamed spirit of youth that has faded through my adult years. Where once I believed anything was possible, those feelings have been papered over by obligation, correctness, expectation and even fear. The eye of this wild creature is all-seeing, daring me to step off the cliff that looks out over the black abyss. Reclaiming the wild boy energy comes in fits and starts as I contemplate the consequences.

This piece emerged after a very disturbing interaction my daughter had with a friend's father. I was so angry and felt as though any confrontation with the dad would cause damage to her most precious friendship that I had to channel my revulsion in as productive a way as possible. 

​

This is a great example of how art has enabled me to channel energy, create a space for introspection, offer emotional release, and open the door for a deeper perspective on past and present events.

Welcome to Savage Arts 

​

Kip headshot 061820.jpg

Kip Hubbard was born in Danbury, Connecticut. His family moved east to Old Lyme when he was one. His creative influences were many and began at a young age. His sister, Jane Jennings, is a successful multimedia artist whose work has been shown extensively up and down the East Coast for decades. His father, John Hubbard, was a landscape painter, pencil artist, art restorer and inventor. And his paternal grandmother, Elizabeth Gates Hubbard, was an accomplished watercolorist. Many family friends were also talented painters, sculptors and artisans.

"I realize now that when I was a kid I was heavily influenced by the Old Lyme arts scene," Hubbard says. Old Lyme had been a prominent enclave at the turn of the 20th Century beginning with the Connecticut River School. That arts tradition continues today at both the Florence Griswold Museum and the Lyme Art Association

​

"I began drawing in 2011 when I was encouraged by my then-wife to "draw something" one lazy Sunday. That seemingly off-handed suggestion has opened up a world of fulfillment, joy, and healing for me over the past decade. I look forward to creating and presenting many more pieces in the coming years." 

​

A longtime resident of Colorado, Hubbard returned in 2020 to the Roaring Fork Valley from Boulder and currently lives in Glenwood Springs.
