Editor’s note: This is part of an ongoing series of features celebrating the life and artwork of San Marcos-born artist Bill Hutson.
World-renowned abstract painter Bill Hutson started his life right here in San Marcos. Born in 1936 at 733 Center Street, Hutson was raised here in the Dunbar neighborhood. Over the course of his life, Hutson traveled the world to refine his artistic style, becoming over time one of the most innovative artists in the world. Hutson has been recognized internationally and has received numerous awards for his work, which hangs in private and public museums in the U.S. and abroad.
Perhaps it’s a fitting symmetry that Hutson’s work is now displayed simultaneously at The Calaboose Museum and The Price Center as both art galleries are a couple of blocks away from where Hutson grew up.
