Bio

Ian Husting is a mixed media artist based in Washington, D.C., whose non-traditional path has given depth to his work. Largely self-taught, Ian developed his formal drawing and painting skills outside of the academy, benefiting from atelier programs, public libraries, and local nonprofit arts organizations.

Ian’s work as a community organizer, documentary filmmaker, website developer, and home builder informs his art and inspires him to see connection and structure everywhere. These experiences now echo through his sculptures and installations, which explore cycles of decay, resilience, and rebirth.

At the heart of Ian’s practice is a steady curiosity about transformation. His work invites viewers to see beauty in impermanence and meaning in the quiet process of change.
