Rappahannock Country ART-- Home

Located in Rappahannock County,Virginia, Hughes River Farm is the home of Hans Wolfram Gerhard and his wife, Christian. The farm produces hay for sale, but much of its acreage is dedicated to wildlife habitat and recreation. The natural beauty and tranquility of the area inspires Hans in his  paintings and sculpture.
 
Hans was educated in his native Germany, but he pursued most of his career as an economist in the United States. He taught at Duke University, University of California at Los Angeles, at Georgetown University, and  served as staff economist  at the International Monetary Fund. His artistic education came mostly from visits to museums and galleries, but he also attended the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, DC. His paintings and sculpture have been shown by the Franz Bader Gallery in Washington, DC, as well as other galleries in the region. Some of his works are in collections of public institutions and private homes in the US and Europe. Published notice of his work was recently presented by Home and Design magazine and American Style.
