Sedrick Huckaby, an artist who lives and works in Fort Worth, is known for using thick paint, called impasto, in the creation of large-scale portraits and works about traditional quilts. The artist’s subjects come from his life and, he says, are intended to “glorify everyday people.”

Through the WFMA Collectors Circle, the Museum acquired a print by Huckaby for the Permanent Collection. Titled “American Dad,” this print captures that large portrait-thick-paint feeling seen in Huckaby’s paintings.

Come hear about Huckaby’s themes of faith, family, community, and heritage.

Lori Shirah, the ASL Interpreter at MSU, will be interpreting Huckaby’s lecture.
