Avery Hunter

2022 Fall Session II

Avery (he/him) moved to the U.S from England in 2004 at the age of 18 and found a surprising abundance of creative opportunities in the Twin Cities, MN. Before leaving England, he studied Drama, English Literature and General Studies, with additional work in Religious Studies (predominantly Christianity). He has since pursued painting, drawing and alternative photography as a profession, participating in several art fairs, shows, group exhibitions and his first solo exhibition “Finding Myself in Color”, displayed at the University of Minnesota’s Masonic Institute for the Developing Brain this past summer. Avery received his Associate of Fine Arts from Minneapolis Community and Technical College in 2010 and continued on to earn his Bachelor’s in Studio Arts from Metropolitan State University in 2021. As an artist, he has pursued different themes pertaining to his identity as a Jewish transman living with neurodevelopmental, psychological and physical disabilities. Avery is a husband, father to two children with special needs and currently working as a teaching artist through an organization that amplifies the voices of individuals with disabilities utilizing the creative arts.
