Biography

Hubby's practice encompasses curatorial, public engagement and project-based work, alongside more traditional media such as collage, drawing, photography and sculpture. After earning her MFA in 1995 from the School of Visual Arts in New York City, Hubby moved to Los Angeles in 1999.

She embarked upon large project titled "Thanks for the Mammaries" at ForYourArt in 2014. "Thanks for the Mammaries" was an exhibition in which Hubby turned her diagnosis with breast cancer into a community-supported celebration by organizing a show of 125 artists with related works. All sales from the show went to support women with breast cancer. [2]

Before this, Hubby acted as the Santa Monica Museum of Art’s Resident Construction Artist, creating Dig the Dig, [3] an installation related to the construction of the Olympic/26th Street Expo Metro Station. Other projects include The Eagle Rock Rock and Eagle Shop (2012), an installation and pop-up store in the Los Angeles community of Eagle Rock, Los Angeles. Her work was highlighted in The Home Show at the California Arts Foundation in 2011.
