Andree Hudson’s paintings, with her use of contrasting light and dark colors, invite the onlooker into the subject’s innocent sensuality. Her large, dramatic brush strokes emit the life of her subjects, as though they live and move among us, touching the viewer’s soul with their very being.
Formally, Andree studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art, receiving her BFA in Illustration and Visual Communication. Early in her career, medical professionals took notice of her talent for capturing skeletal and muscular form, contracting her for illustrations in various medical publications and textbooks. But Andree’s true passion is letting the beauty of creation speak for itself through her paintings of living form.
Each subject, whether child, adult, animal, or landscape, is simply caught living in a moment of time; but it is a time of contemplative silence, of invitation to join that subject in a part of life’s journey. With her gift to portray life in paintings, Andree entreats each of us to join her subjects in their captured moments, to come away having related intimately with each piece.
