The Hutchinson Art Center is looking forward to displaying photography by local artist Larry Carver in our Front Gallery starting in July. Enjoy beautiful scenes captured by Carver on a recent trip to Portugal.

Starting photography over 40 years ago, Carver recently began focusing his photographic skills on nature and travel photography following his retirement from Hutchinson Community College, where he was the Director of Instructional Technology and Virtual Learning.

Carver has won over 20 ribbons in the Amateur Photography Division at the Kansas State Fair including a Best of Show and Best of Show Runner-up. Carver has also had several of his images published in regional and national publications including the High Plains Journal, and his photographic works can be found in public and private collections in the Hutchinson area.

Carver, and his wife Joyce, have traveled throughout the United States and to Italy, Spain, France, Holland, Ireland, England, and Scotland where he focused on photographing cathedrals and churches as well as other traditional locations. His photography is an expression of what he saw in his mind at the moment the images were captured by the camera. Using applications like Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop CC, Carver replicates the mood of the image so that the scene photographed is reproduced on the computer, and finally on paper or canvas.

This exhibition is on display in the Front Gallery from July 10th - August 29th, 2026.
