The Academy Art Museum, in collaboration with the St. Michaels Art League, is hosting a retrospective exhibit, “Martha Hudson: Retrospective of Watercolor,” on Friday, June 5 through Sunday, June 7, 2015, at the Museum to honor Martha’s many contributions to the art community in which she lived. There will be an Opening Reception on Friday, June 5, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Museum during Easton’s Friday Gallery Walk.
Many of Martha Hudson’s patrons have graciously loaned paintings from their collections to make this retrospective exhibit available to the public. These paintings were completed from the mid 1970’s until a few years before her death. Martha was known for paintings of landscapes, wildlife, and marine subjects.
Martha graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art and completed post-graduate work at the Schuler School of Fine Art. She was an active participant in Easton’s Waterfowl Festival, displaying her paintings at the Festival for 27 years. Martha was known for her many contributions to the art community. She was a founding member of the Traveling Brushes; an instructor at the Academy Art Museum; a Signature Artist of the Baltimore Watercolor Society; and a charter member of the Working Artists Forum. As a member of the St. Michaels Art League, Martha endowed an annual award for “Excellence in Watercolors.” This judged competition held in December, recognizes artists for achievements in the medium. As an instructor she conducted workshops here and abroad, and taught painting at her studio until shortly before her passing.
