BY EDWARD Mrs. Victoria Hutson Huntley, artist and lithographer whose works are included in 15 museum and library collections in this country and in Europe, says she is just an average housewife who enjoys the comforts of her home.

Home to Mrs. Huntley is the old and rambling Fabyan estate near Geneva, not far from the Riverbank Acoustical laboratories, where she lives with her husband, Ralph, a research physicist, and daughter, Hazel. 2d Floor Studio She has been a professional artist for more than 20 years. She movad to Geneva with her family nearly two years ago from Florida. Mrs.

Huntley works on the second floor of the 10 room house, which is' regarded as a Geneva landmark. She reconverted almost the entire second floor for 'her studio. There she keeps an old flat bed press and several Ba-tavian limestones to produce her prize winning works. She doubles as a lecturer and, occasionally, as an art coach in her spare time. Of Geneva, she says, has a charm and graciousness that can't be duplicated As far as I'm concerned I'd like to stay here forever." Steel Plant Scenes Mrs.

Huntley was born in Hasbrouck Heights, N. and was reared and educated in New York City. After graduating from high school, she attended New York's Art Students' league. She later taught art classes at the College of Industrial Arts in Denton, Tex. Since coming 16 this area, Mrs.

Huntley has made several lithographic studies of Chicago steel plants. She said some of the city's leading steel producers have allowed her to tour their plants to get realistic subject matter for her prints. I try to do everything and I don't like to specialize," she said. She prefers landscapes, scenes of industry, and portraits to all other subjects, she added. Mrs.

Huntley said she produces about ten lithographs a year and spends the rest of her time on portraits and landscapes. Fellowship Winner She won her first prize in 1930 at her first exhibition in New. York City. And, the same year, won the Logan prize in lithography at the International Graphic Art exhibition at Chicago's Art institute. Mrs.

Huntley was awarded Guggenheim fellowship in 1948 in Florida, where she had been working for seven years. One of her prints of the Florida Everglades was displayed in the Library of Congress in 1949. A scene she did of lower I New York City in 1934 was purchased in 1937 by the Italian government. Mrs. Huntley said her agent at the time told her the print was purchased on the recommendation of Dictator Mussolini.

The print was delivered to the national mu seum in Rome but it has been missing since the war. She also has a print in one of Scotland's national libraries. Does Cooking and Sewing She was married in 1934. Her husband is supervisor of the Riverbank laboratories of the Armour Research Foundation and formerly taught at the University of Minnesota. This house of ours is old," she asserted, "but we love every inch of it.

Even tho I have a cleaning woman to help me, I do all my own cooking and sewing besides working on my prints." SENIOR WINS YEAR'S STUDY AT U. OF PARIS John S. Ford, son of Mrs. Marjorie Ford, 1047 N. Oak Park Oak Park, recently was awarded a Fulbright scholarship for one year's study in France.
