Bio
Ian Husting is a Washington, D.C.–based artist working across painting, sculpture, drawing, and illuminated mixed media. His work combines wood, plaster, paint, hand-drawn imagery, and embedded light to create sculptural objects that explore grief, memory, displacement, and regeneration. 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.
His path into art has unfolded alongside a career in nonprofit work and community organizing—experiences that inform his interest in resilience, collective care, and rebuilding.
