Hooper was known as an innovator in the use of new material, and for his abstract expressionist, mural and figurative painting. Hooper has exhibited in Art Museums and Galleries nationally and internationally including solo exhibitions in Europe, Mexico and the United States. The last 20 years of his life were spent in rural Mexico, where he drew and painted every single day until his death in 2014.
