Hudson teaches drawing, painting, and color theory at Parkland. In addition to showing nationally, he is also represented by Peter Miller Gallery in Chicago. His one-person exhibition last year incorporated paintings, drawings, and sculpture. Reflecting his ideas about humankind’s relationship with the environment, “Evolution is unfolding in shocking ways as life is made to adapt to our aggressive agency,” Hudson said. “This process is often reflected in unsettling juxtapositions—the geese in the mall parking lot or the polar bear at the dump. This work embodies a fantastic recognition of the unsustainable now.”
The versatility of works on display shows the variety of courses available at Parkland. Art enthusiasts of all ages will enjoy works by various faculty. by Louis Ballard, Chris Berti, Lisa Costello, and Marsha Daniels. In addition to Larry Ecker, Stacey Gross, Steven Hudson, Melinda McIntosh, Craig McMonigal, laura o’donnell, Denise Seif, and Peggy Shaw, as well as Phil Smith, Tim Stiles, Joan Stolz, Matthew Watt, kelly white, Gretchen Wieshuber, and Paul Young.
