Digital and Mixed Media Artist
Carolyn Huff comes from a long line of digital artists. Her great grandfather was one of the first photographers in Stanislaus County. She received her first camera at age six–a Kodak Instamatic! Carolyn grew up in Modesto, graduating from Modesto Junior College and California State University Stanislaus. While she was still in high school, Carolyn enrolled in photography classes and experienced the “magic” of developing film in the darkroom.
In 2015, Carolyn opened Carolyn Huff Photography Studio and Gallery, located in downtown Modesto. The gallery was a partner with the Modesto Art Walk, displaying work from local artists each month. Although the gallery is now closed, Carolyn continues to show her work in other local galleries. Currently Carolyn is focusing her artistic endeavors by creating timeless portraits and landscape art pieces. Each piece is tastefully made by hand, starting with a digital painting, which is then printed to fine art media and transformed into a unique, heirloom quality work of art.
Carolyn loves listening to the stories people tell about their life. As a portrait artist, Carolyn Huff sits down with each new client to discuss how they want to be portrayed. This teamwork helps create a one of a kind masterpiece that will truly reflect each client’s style. The artwork planning meeting is a collaboration to create a memory for you that will be installed on your wall and in your heart for years to come. Most of our “clients” walk away from their portrait creation events as a new friend because of the time spent together. Carolyn Huff wants to be more than just a portrait artist to you. She wants to be your artist and someone you can trust to capture moments of significance to you.
Let us create a visual legacy for you!
Tell us your story, and together we’ll show the world the treasure you are!
