About Me

Hello, and thanks for stopping in!

I’m Tory Hughes, and you’ve found my website for all things creative.

I’m an artist, teacher, writer and creative consultant.
I help people be more creative.

This site hosts my artwork and teaching, including my blog about living as an artist. If you want to express your creativity more completely, I am so glad you’re here today!

I make jewelry and sculpture and sell my work in galleries and online.
The Museum of Art and Design and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, among other places, have my contemporary art jewelry in their permanent collections.
I also teach people to uncover and act on their own creative brilliance, especially using polymer and mixed media. We get together in weekend and weeklong retreats all over the world.
My DVD series and my books are for sale on this site also.

Do you have a minute? I want to share an important idea with you, behind everything we do:
It’s called Creative Action

There is a huge creative power in every one of us, inherent in our human nature.
I call this process ‘creative action’, not creativity, because it is about the action of how we go from nothing into something. For more, read my short manifesto. Ornament Magazine wrote about creative action in a recent article on my new work

Creative action is what you do to  move the IDEA into the FORM. This is Big Creativity, what we all are exploring here on earth. How do you move that idea from your mind and heart into something that exists here and now?

I have an idea! Follow me!

Everything happens for a reason.
It’s no accident
that you landed on my site.

Welcome and enjoy!

Tory
