ART, STYLE, and ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT
by contemporary fine artist Sharon Hudson. Artist Hudson answers questions about her art, art style, artistic development, philosophy, inspirations, methods, and creating art, such as:
How did you get started in art?
Why do you do so many styles of art? Isn't that unusual for an artist?
What do you think about realistic art, and how does that relate to your figures and portraits? I am a beginning art student.
Tell me about your abstract art.
You do many styles in your figure art. How do you decide which style to use?
How can I develop my own style? How did you start off and progress to your own style?
What is your current artistic challenge?
Sharon is a contemporary San Francisco Bay Area visual artist who lives in Oakland, California. Her art reflects the influence of masters of sensual painting like Matisse, Van Gogh, and Gauguin. In addition, contemporary and traditional arts from her travels around the world play into her artistic development and styles. Hudson's art includes expressionistic painterly figures in pastel, graphite, and charcoal; playful figures in collages of decorative patterns; realistic figures and portraits; still lifes and abstracts in acrylic and oil paint; and mixed media abstract (non-objective) artworks with multiple layers of allover patterns.
