Personal life

Artwork

Golden Reflections

In late 2015, inspired by his close friend and producing partner Matt Shapira, Hutch began painting abstract artwork. As his technique developed, he began to post his artwork on social media and its popularity grew. Hutch now has paintings on display in various parts of the US, Canada and the Uk. Hutch has an uncanny ability of capturing raw emotion in his pieces. His preference for bright colors and layering of colors gives his abstract expressionist works a life of their own. Using acrylic paint, canvas, wood, and a variety of expressive techniques, Hutch creates unique, one of a kind pieces that add richness to any wall they grace.

Music

Hutch is also a big fan of Hip hop and rap music. He has released a few rap songs, as well a few collaborations with other independent artists.
