I see them on the ranch almost everyday.” Tommy Hughes lives at World’s End Ranch in Hunt, Texas with his wife Julia. Hughes has five children that are all in college and everyone in Hughes’ family is somehow involved in art. The artist’s brother was Andy Warhol’s Business Manager for 23 years. Hughes has been making, building or painting things since he was a child. He paints portraits and makes things for friends. Hughes, his wife and dog are all native Texans.
