He also traveled to Africa with a number of wildlife artists. Huey recalls that “This was the best of trips…….30 days in the bush with African and American Artists”. He once traveled and painted for four months with landscape painter Brent Cotton. “To see the wonders of this Great Creation and try to convey that emotion to another through painting is a grand enterprise to say the least”.

Since arriving in Jackson Hole, he has been studying with landscape painter Scott L Christensen. When describing this relationship, he has stated that Christensen has had a “profound and decisive influence” on his insight into painting.
