Bio

Born on the Canadian Prairies, Hudgeon now lives on a small Gulf Island in the Georgia Strait off B.C.'s west coast. Her unrestrained use of colour is truly inspired by nature. Her love of art, music, dance, colour and nature keeps her work joyful and full of "happy energy". Her glass celebrates her lifestyle in recurring themes:sea life, flowers, fruits & vegetables, people, music, animals and nature. Her work is also inspired by painters, fabric artists, and by her own travels to countries with traditional cultures and spiritual beliefs. Hudgeon's own personal life journey combined with her extensive travels is reflected in the spiritual nature of many of her pieces. Since childhood, Hudgeon has loved glass: from collecting coloured bottles with her parents, to stained glass and then to glass fusing. Her education is primarily hands-on practice. Her fascination with the fusing process renews her excitement every time she opens her kiln.
