Thomas Hudson, About the Artist

Thomas Hudson is a Cleveland based artist working in pencil and oil paint. Known for his commitment to natural realism and historical authenticity. His work reflects a lifelong dedication to careful observation, accurate drawing, and respect for the human experience.

Hudson’s fine art series, Reminiscent: Our Times Before Yesterday, explores the everyday lives and quiet dignity of African Americans from the late nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth century. Through meticulously crafted pencil drawings and paintings, the series preserves moments of ordinary life, expressions, gestures, clothing, and settings rendered with clarity and restraint.

By focusing on individuals rather than spectacle, Hudson’s work invites viewers to slow down, look closely, and connect with the past in a personal and meaningful way. These works are not nostalgic recreations, but careful visual records rooted in research, observation, and respect for history.
