Kelly “Kel” Hudson is an artist with an interest in fictional and actual lived-in spaces. Her work focuses on recurring daily life moments but also pretend landscapes where the home acts as the human. Her desire to explore the dichotomies of human nature and how we live in a world fraught with inequality is frequently at the heart of her ideas. Often considered elusive and “extremely private,” Kel considers herself a professional voyeur, with her most prized talent being the art of not being noticed. A citizen of the world, Kel has made her home in many places but none so far like Spokane, WA, the city that granted her substantial funding to create The Spokane Coloring Book, a locally produced coloring book filled with thirty hand-drawn images that has sold a thousand copies since its release in 2022.

His work has most recently been exhibited in New York and Boston, MA.
