Keith Alan Huey Bio. Keith studied portrait painting for 2 years with William Kufuhl at the Westlake School of Art.  After his formal training in art and a tour in the US ARMY he took on the operations of a  small fitness center and started pursuing a career  as a painter  on the side. In his quest for a fuller life in the production of  art he eventually sold the gym  and relocated to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where he found employment with two local galleries, The Trailside and Legacy Gallery'. These wonderful gallery owners gave him a leg up in understanding the realities of being a full time painter. While the galleries offered him a safe income and  opportunities much enjoyed he only remained with them for 5 years collectively. What he found after leaving was an adventure of a life time. "'Traveling the road less traveled has made all the difference.  "

In 1995 Huey  traveled to South Africa and  Zimbabwe with a band of artist led by both John Banovich and Kobus Mullar . In 1998 Brent Cotton and Huey teamed up to paint Maui for a winter. 1999 Huey again teamed up with  Cotton for a dream trip. 3 1/2 month in Alaska , The Yukon, and the Queen Charlotte Islands .

 The enjoyment of sharing other painters works as well as his own with the public led to the opening of his first small venture in JH "Gallery One" 2003.  That led to a move in 2005  re-locating to the Southwest and established HueysFineArt,llc.  Santa Fe NM.
