The name Savage Arts pays homage to my late father, born Arthur Rollins Savage in Bath, Maine on January 15, 1921. My dad was adopted by Giles and Elizabeth Hubbard of Pelham, New York soon after his birth. He had a lifelong love of all things creative, from woodworking to painting, drawing, art restoration, and even tinkering and inventing. He was discouraged by his parents from pursuing a career in the arts yet chased his passions throughout his life while working at General Dynamics Electric Boat Division in Groton, Connecticut by day. He and I spent thousands of hours in our years together in his basement workshop turning wood, building a large HO model train landscape, and enjoying a deep and loving connection. He was a very special man.

I realize now that when I was a kid, I was heavily influenced by the Old Lyme arts scene. 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.

Always a doodler, I began drawing seriously in 2011.  That simple act of putting pencil to paper has opened up a world of fulfillment, joy, and inner healing for me over the past twelve years, and I look forward to creating  much more art in the future. I hope you enjoy my work.

I currently live in Glenwood Springs, Colorado and am so blessed with two amazing daughters.
