Emerging Incarcerated Artist: Allen Hudson

“Allen Hudson tends to a garden by day and enjoys bringing those creatures of nature inside our homes in unique colorful ways."

Allen Hudson is known for his small but colorful watercolor paintings set as a triptych or a postcard size image. Allen observes nature and portraits it in its most uneventful stage, observing without interfering, as if we were watching the daily day of the fauna & flora around us. His soft watercolors tell the story of the busy insects or idle flowers living amongst us. An extraordinary and delicate imagination for this artist incarcerated in Texas, who has only sight from his prison cell of concrete walls, pavement, and bars. Appreciating Allen’s fauna & flora will make you slow down to appreciate the nature around us that we tend to take for granted.
