Journaling the Landscape: Harlan Hubbard's Legacy in Art and Writing

Join Kentucky authors Jessica Whitehead and Dr. Richard Taylor for an engaging chat, as they explore Harlan Hubbard’s unique practice of journaling and sketching in his beloved landscapes. This discussion will highlight how his creative process, often explored in Whitehead's upcoming book, Driftwood: The Life of Harlan Hubbard resonates with Richard’s own long-standing tradition of journaling and sketching. The discussion will delve into the shared themes that connect Hubbard’s work to Richard’s, and the broader world of Kentucky thinkers, writers, and artists. It’s an opportunity to reflect on the deep ties between place, creativity, and expression in the Kentucky creative community.
Harlan Hubbard (1900–1988), writer, artist, and sustainability pioneer, led a quiet yet remarkable life that has become deeply woven into Kentucky’s historical fabric. Best known for his shantyboat journey on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers with his wife, Anna, and for creating the hand-built homestead at Payne Hollow, Hubbard’s story is one of profound personal transformation.
