Reviews:
'Houck paints what he sees but tempers it with an innovative, thinking point of view. And it would appear sometimes that beauty is fleeting; it has to find you instead. In his search for the contemporary landscape, he seeks out those moments of beauty with a sharp eye....'
Review by Ron Schira, Oct. 2006, Reading Eagle Correspondent on the 'Spring and Autumn Series' Fromm Gallery, Jewish Community Center of Reading.
'His work has a pleasing and unsettling play between recognizable patterns and flat abstracted shapes, and raises immediate questions about space and depth.
