As Hutchinson independently developed as an artist, he lived with the Seminole Indians in Brighton and Big Cypress reservations from 1959-1964 and received an Arthur Vining Davis Foundations grant for 50 paintings of the Seminole tribe that the State of Florida now owns and circulates from the capitol to various state venues and museums.
