    Kathleen emphasizes dynamic light and atmosphere in her paintings. She is a Signature Member of Plein Air Painters of America and the second youngest artist ever to be elected a Fellow in the American Society of Marine Artists. In 2017, Hudson received the Grand Prize in the 6th Annual PleinAir Salon for her painting Bright Morning, Timberline Falls, which was featured on the July 2017 cover of PleinAir Magazine. The same month Southwest Art named her an "Artist to Watch."

    Workshop CANCELLED

    Kathleen won't be able to offer the workshop this year.  She will need to return home  immediately after judging the show  to address a family health matter. Workshop fees will be refunded to those who registered for this workshop.

     


    Jurors:

    Bruce Gómez, Richard Guzmán, Jeff Otis

    Bruce Gomez has been working in pastel full-time for the last twenty-nine years and has been teaching workshops for the past fifteen. His artistic influences range from Paleolithic art up to Alfred Sisley, Maxfield Parrish, Juan Gris, and Gustav Klimt. Bruce considers himself fortunate to travel to and paint in such wonderful places as Telluride, Paris, Rome, and Moab.

    Richard Guzman’s painting style has been described as robust, expressionistic, energetic, with sweeping use of color and skillful harmonies. These attributes are born of close observation of subject matter, countless hours of indoor as well as outdoor painting, and a boundless love of the craft. Richard has instructed for both private and pubic institutions for the past twenty-five years. He brings a wealth of information that includes the history of painting as well as the most recent trends in modern times.

    Jeff Otis is an oil painter and writer, living in Albuquerque, who is known primarily for his landscapes and hopefully soon, his novels. Landscape, especially the dramatic vistas of the desert Southwest, are his central focus. His style is representational and often accompanied by contrasts of light and shade as well as dynamic color harmonies. He attributes much of his development as a painter to great artists of the past such as Monet, Sargent, Millet, and Sorolla. Contemporary artists having equally important influence include Wilson Hurley, Michael Lynch, Russell Chatham, Clyde Aspevig, Richard Schmid, Laura Robb, Dan Gerhartz, Wayne Wolfe, Ralph Oberg, Bill Gallen, David Leffel, and Sherrie Mcgraw. He is a signature member of Oil Painters of America
