About Me
I'm an artist from England, where my artistic roots span three generations. My creative journey led me to The Glasgow School of Art in Scotland, one of the world’s top art institutions. There, I immersed myself in the the endless possibilities of visual expression through painting, drawing, textiles, set design and environmental art.
I’ve exhibited in galleries in the US, England, Scotland, and France. Collaborated with organizations like the BBC, Edinburgh Festival, and International Congress for Design, as well as working with renowned designers. Working as a creative advisor for international events and design projects in London was another exciting chapter in my career.
Today, I’m living in Maryland, USA, where I’m pursuing my passion for contemporary abstract painting. I currently have gallery representation at Jo Fleming Contemporary Art, Annapolis, MD, and amazing support on my Instagram page @SJRhudy
HOWEVER ... my creative journey continues to evolve ....
As artists, we’re often encouraged to narrow things down, to find a lane and stay in it. I’ve been questioning that. What interests me now is expansion. Not just in terms of medium, but in how ideas can move between physical and digital spaces - how a work can exist, shift, and still hold onto its core. The digital side of art isn’t just about new formats or new audiences. It’s changing how we think about where a piece comes from, how it’s tracked, and how it carries its history forward. That idea of digital provenance, of a work staying connected to its origin and its journey, feels increasingly important. For me, this isn’t about replacing traditional ways of working. It’s about adding another layer to them. Painting, process, texture - those things still matter. But now there’s also an opportunity to give work a kind of continuity that didn’t really exist before. Arkhouse Gallery explores how to support artists in this space - helping them build a digital presence around their work that feels as considered and lasting as the work itself.
