Dee Huxter - The Ladies of Tarkay
Dee Huxster, a local artist of Stroudsburg, PA. has long enjoyed painting local homes and Main Street buildings. Her real interest was to be a fashion illustrator. A few years ago she realized after painting with Tom Vincent, that her real love was to paint women, particularly in costume.
Dee was inspired by artists of the past, particularly Joseph Waterhouse, John James Singer, Degas, and Tarkay.
Her work is in numerous private collections, as well as the permanent collection at the Monroe County Courthouse, the Hughes Library, and the Fenner Snyder Robacker Museum. Her work has also gone abroad.
Awards include several in the Pocono Arts Council and C.O.T.A. shows.
Though largely self-taught, she has attended Warren County College and the Entwistle School of Art, Ridgewood, NJ, as well as many workshops through the years.
