We have an art show opening on Friday, April 26th at Huff Harrington Fine Art, appropriately called, "The Fab Five" as it will feature five of our prominent female artists. Early on, we had nicknamed the show, "Home Grown" because these ladies all have southern roots, some with shoots that run deep in Atlanta. Of this distinguished group, no one has been a Huff'ington … [Read more...]
Introducing Ignat Ignatov
We are overjoyed to introduce a remarkable new artist to the gallery: Ignat Ignatov. We first came across his work via an email to the gallery which prompted a late night flurry of activity between the four of us, each raving about the work, loving his back story and wanting to be the first to contact the artist. Linda won the honors, and within 24 hours, they were best … [Read more...]
Alice Williams
On Saturday July 14th, we’ll be celebrating our annual Bastille Day show, hosting a gallery full of French art enthusiasts, who have been coming for years to sip rose wine, nibble on ham and cheese sandwiches, sing along with our accordion player and admire our walls of French inspired art. This year, we have a very special guest star who will be joining us: Who could … [Read more...]
Meet Barbara Sussberg
People often ask us where we find our artists, and up until recently, the answer has always been word-of-mouth, art publications, art shows, other gallerists and various reputable referrals. Now we can add one more unexpected source to the list: a Huffington daughter! Who knew that a biomedical engineer from Georgia Tech would bond with a sorority sister who just happened to … [Read more...]
Meet a Huffington: Linda Mohan, gallery manager
We'll never forget the first day we met Linda Mohan, our gallery manager. It was more than 12 years ago and we were just about to open Huff Harrington Fine Art. We were very optimistic that we'd be busy enough to justify a third person so when a dear friend recommended Linda, we agreed to set up an appointment. "Now listen," one of us said to the other. "We are NOT hiring … [Read more...]
Past is Present: A new show by Lorraine Christie
Enigmatic. Mysterious. Alluring. Intriguing. Words we happily use on a daily basis to describe the paintings of artist Lorraine Christie whose collection of new works we're excited to debut at Huff Harrington Fine Art on Friday, February 9th. We're still just as starstruck by her luminous and rich paintings as we were when we hung the very first piece on our gallery walls … [Read more...]

Colleen Waguespack from Fig & Dove
We are so lucky that our buyer extraorinaire, Allison, still calls Baton Rouge "home." Because whenever she goes "home" for the weekend, she always seems to discover another artist whose unique and unusual finds are just the right touch for our store. This happened several years ago with Helen Bolin, whose gorgeous art and decorative accessories have become a staple of the … [Read more...]
In the studio: meet artist Annie King
Not too long ago, one of our good friends (and ex-Huffington, which means she's part of the family forever) sent us the kind of email we love to get. "This is one of my oldest and dearest friends who is very talented (and) also happens to be gorgeous and inspiring!" said the email. Included were some striking abstract paintings which immediately took our eye with their … [Read more...]
Hounds for Houston
We're all just horrified and saddened by what's happened in Houston and Southeast Texas this week - a historical deluge of rain and water, tornados and devastating flooding that has displaced thousands and thousands of people and pets. But just when you think it can't get any worse, our fellow humans come through with flying colors - rescuing trapped residents by boats (so … [Read more...]
