Holly Huber’s career in art began at New Mexico Military Institute in 1978.  She went on to earn degrees in Occupational Studies and Communication, Art, History and Art Education.  She has both worked and taught in the field of art and graphic design for some 15 years.  She taught on the college level at Eastern New Mexico University in Portales, NM and Minot State University in Minot, ND and on the secondary school level at Pickens Technical School in Denver, CO.   She also served as Art Director for the Gillette News-Record in Gillette, WY, earning the newspaper national recognition for superior layout and design in advertising.  

A published illustrator, Huber’s 81 illustrations in The Santa Fe Tarot Deck received high commendations both nationally and internationally.  Produced in three languages, both the deck and book are now in their second printing.  Continuing her professional development in the illustration/publishing world, she is currently marketing a series of children’s books and fantasy illustrations.  She is also marketing a Navajo-based board game she conceptualized and designed.

Huber plans to continue her education, having earned numerous hours beyond her Master’s Degree and working toward a PhD in Art Education.  She also plans to continue her work in fine art and produced a one-person show in Portales, NM, in November, 1999.   Her fine art presently can be found in many private homes both nationally and internationally.   

While teaching graphic design at both ENMU and MSU, Huber implemented student-run graphic design agencies and intern programs and was highly active in job placement.  She hopes to establish such a program at NMMI.  Toward that end, she’s initiated an Art Club and a virtual gallery of student artwork.  She also serves on NMMI’s Curriculum Committee and Technology Committee and is a sponsor for both The Maverick and the Drama Club.
