Sean Hudson is an artist and educator based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His work is rooted in a deep curiosity about the natural world and a belief that creativity reconnects us with joy and wonder.
Hudson earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and Drawing from Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design in Denver and a Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art from the University of New Mexico. His interdisciplinary studies in painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation fostered a spirit of experimentation and play that continues to shape his creative practice.
During the pandemic, Hudson was unexpectedly offered a job teaching watercolor, a medium he had never worked with. What began as a practical opportunity quickly became the foundation of his studio practice. He discovered that watercolor mirrored the way he wanted to experience the world: direct, spontaneous, and full of possibility.
Today, Hudson divides his time between the studio and the classroom. Through workshops at Ghost Ranch, L'Ecole Des Beaux Arts, Meow Wolf, and his own studio, Magic Sky Watercolor, he invites others to experience creativity not as a pursuit of perfection, but as a way of reconnecting with the joy of making.
Hudson's work has been featured in New American Paintings, Hyperallergic, and Pasatiempo. He has exhibited throughout New Mexico at Richard Levy Gallery, Lapis Room, Expo New Mexico, SITE Santa Fe, and Smoke The Moon.
