About Me

John Christopher Hugo

Born in Manila, Philippines, John is an amateur painter and artist living in North Carolina. John’s family immigrated to the United States and settled in the small city of Springfield, Virginia (30 miles south of Washington, DC). After moving to North Carolina, John attended North Carolina State University where he received his Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering and a Minor in Art & Design.

Working as a Transmission Line Engineer as the normal M-F, the weekends are spent creating art.  In addition to art, John enjoys a number of hobbies and interests including: tennis, running, snowboarding, travel, yoga, and movies. All of these interests can be seen in his art. John has completed eight (8) full marathons, sixty-two(62) half marathons, and a number of 10K & 5K race events. The discipline it takes to train for these events does take away my time to do art, but the running/exercise clears my head for more ideas, creativity, and relaxation to create the best possible work.
