BIO & CV

SEAN HUDSON (b. 1983) is an Albuquerque-based visual artist and creative coach whose work explores change, beauty, and perception. Hudson currently teaches watercolor workshops at Ghost Ranch Education and Retreat Center in Abiquiu, NM, L'Ecole Des Beaux Arts in Santa Fe, NM, and from his downtown Albuquerque art studio. He has a talent for inspiring personal narratives and unique styles at all levels in the artistic path.

Sean received his MFA from the University of New Mexico in 2017. His work has been shown regionally and nationally in exhibitions, art fairs, and in print, including Richard Levy Gallery, Smoke The Moon, and The Valley in New Mexico, RedLine Contemporary Art Center in Colorado, Art on Paper NYC, and in the juried publication New American Paintings.

Hudson is ever-inspired by the fleeting moments of color he observes in nature—a hazy rainbow, burning sunset, or sprouting blossom. With wonder and awe, he appreciates New Mexico's spectacular vista's and the light and shadows that dance throughout the day. When he's not working in his studio or sharing his insight with others, he and his wife enjoy traveling and tending to their flower garden.
