Bill
Hueg was born in Hornell, New York and was reared and educated in
St. Paul, Minnesota. In 1973, he began studies at Atelier Lack,
a traditional fine art school in Minneapolis. In 1978 he started
an apprenticeship under Mike Lehen at Master Craft Sign Co,
focusing on large-format billboard art.
In 1984 Bill founded Signs of Distinction, a commercial sign
company with an emphasis on traditional design and craftsmanship.
For several years afterward, Signs of Distinction incorporated fine
pictorial work, jewel-like gold leaf and decorative glass details
into its sign work.
He
also became an active participant of the Letterheads, a group
dedicated to keeping traditional sign making techniques alive. Throughout
his career, Bill has received several national design awards for
his work.
He continues to strive for excellence in all aspects of his work, which today is mainly figure sculpture and easel painting at "Peacock Studios" in Westminster, CO. Commisions will be gladly considered in all mediums presented on the website. |
