Throughout her travels and through her lens, Hubbard has searched out castles: from the British Isles of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales; to the European Continent of France, Portugal, Greece and Italy;  to the shores of the Hudson River.  Each has its own history, some built high on a cliff or an island, some with only a few walls remaining, and some beautifully restored with wandering gardens.   “Whether looking up at a castle tower and walking down worn stone steps, I always wonder who built them and how, who has lived here, what is their story?  There is a certain magic about the old stone walls that continue to whisper to me,” says Hubbard.
