Create.Inspire.Involve

My name is Angela Hughes Zokan, and I am an artist and art educator. Currently, I am taking some time away from the classroom to focus on my family and personal art endeavors. It is my goal to capture inspirational moments with my students and myself throughout my artistic journey. I hope to use this site as a way to track my professional and personal growth through the arts.

It’s been a while since I painted some linear fruits, but these first fruits of the season were calling my name! I don’t think I’ve ever painted a strawberry before, and let me tell you it was more challenging than I had anticipated. However, I’m happy with these quirky bright little fruits! This piece is 12“ x 24” acrylic on canvas and will be available first at the Cottontown Art Crawl This Saturday, March 11 from 10 to 4! #ahugheszart #fruits #berryseason #stilllife #stilllifepainting #acrylicpainting #localartist #sodacity #sodacitysc #cottontownartcrawl2023 #cottontownartcrawl (at Cottontown/Bellevue Historic District, Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpk0dSGuD8T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“It has a rainbow forest like you have never seen. With trees of many colors like red, yellow, purple, and green.” Wobby Dobby -Ott Sizemore This is just a snip it of a little project that 🤞🏼 will come to fruition over the next year. It pushed my limits and made me think way outside of all of my boxes. I am very very naïve and new to the world of book illustration, but I can’t wait to see how this experience enhances my artist growth. #illustration #ahugheszart #wobbydobby #localartist #sodacitysc #sodacityreads https://www.instagram.com/p/CpVjSEiOoY1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Our little coffee bar just got a major upgrade! I gifted this amazing @scottypeekart painting for @mrbzokan42 birthday back in August because he is the one that makes the coffee and he deserves to look at something he enjoys. We finally are “nearly” finished updating this small space in our kitchen and if you look closely you can see the perfect coffee scoop from @openhandgoods and a little figure creamer from @earthandseapottery 😍😍😍 So much art love in one space! If you still need some presents check out one of these amazing artists #localart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl6CI5BOCNv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sweet Boo Bear was shipped off this week to Texas! I am so thankful that others enjoy these collages is as much as I do. I appreciate the opportunities to mix it up and do something completely different than painting. The mixing of patterns and textures is just so fun! SO tedious, but so fun! #localartist #sodacity #sodacitysc #collage #collageart #pupcollage #dogcollage #ahugheszart (at Texas, USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck_SrETOi5E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

AVAILABLE- This delicate duo is currently on display @publicworksartcenter in Summerville, SC! 20x20 -acrylic on Canvas- Have you ever planted bulbs and then completely forgotten about them? Truly, I can’t even remember what these were except for I’m sure they were supposed to be flowers… I waited for two years. They grew like giant corn stalks in our flower bed. Finally, (to my excitement) they started to bloom! I had waited for two years to see some thing blossom from these gangly stalks in our garden. The blooms were beautiful, but only lasted two days. They were the most delicate flowers I have ever seen! #ahugheszartgardenparty #ahugheszart #flowerpainting #acrylicpainting #localartist #columbiasc #sodacity #sodacitysc #publicworksartcenter (at Public Works Art Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj8F10wOOPr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
