Kathleen Hudson's paintings capture fleeting moments of light and atmosphere. She says, "My paintings represent specific places and moments in time: the brief point during a sunrise when the sun fills the air with an ethereal golden glow; a break in a storm where light pierces through heavy clouds; or the sight of glacial runoff sending waterfalls down the side of a mountain wreathed in fog.” Kathy artfully creates rare moments of beauty where light and atmospheric movement become sublime.

When painting outdoors, Kathleen is drawn to scenes of expansiveness. She keeps an open mind as she searches for a scene that moves her. She is not afraid to paint the same scenes that others have painted before her, because she is confident in her own vision and her own voice that she uses to expressively paint the landscape. As the morning kiss of light begins to illuminate the landscape before her, Kathleen Hudson’s creative heart and mind come alive with a sense of possibilities.

“When I envision a new painting, I focus on points of shifting light and atmosphere in the scene. To me, these are the source of a landscape’s beauty: the things that make us stop and look before continuing on our way.”
