Dorothy
Hudgins, a Norfolk native, has been drawing
and painting since childhood. She has studied with Retha Sedel, Norman
Goodwin, Philip Sterk and Barclay Sheaks. In 1990, she retired as a
registered nurse and moved to the Outer Banks for two years where she
taught acrylics and was featured in the Outer Banks Magazine for her
work.
She has exhibited in galleries in North Carolina and Virginia and
continues to teach workshops and students in her home studio. As a
member of many art organizations, including Chesapeake Bay Art Association,
Chesapeake Bay Watercolorists, and Tidewater Art Association, she has
been the recipient of the Grumbacher Award as well as numerous other
ribbons and awards.
On describing
her work, Dorothy says, "I want each of my paintings
to create a mood. I spend a great deal of time observing, sketching
and photographing reference material to be original. I consider my
style to be relaxed realism."
