Meet Chris Hurlburt Milk

This December, PAAL welcomes Richmond-based, self-taught artist Chris Hulburt Milk, whose vibrant and evocative work finds extraordinary meaning in the familiar. Drawing inspiration from landscapes, flora, fauna, and the quiet details of everyday life, Hulburt creates imaginative compositions that celebrate the overlooked magic of ordinary moments.

Working primarily in paint on wood, his multidisciplinary practice also spans textiles, sculpture, and large-scale public commissions. Blending the visual traditions of folk and naïve art with musical imagery, tender humor, and haunting poignancy, his work invites viewers to look a little closer at the world around them.

Join us at PAAL this December to experience the distinctive visual world of Chris Milk Hulburt.
