Laura Hudson was raised on Whidbey Island, Washington, and earned her BFA in Art from Western Washington University in Bellingham. She went on to receive her MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art’s Mt. Royal School of Art in Baltimore. After graduate school, she joined an artist collective, where she lived communally and collaborated with a dynamic community of artists and musicians to create work and produce shows.
Ultimately, her deep connection to the Pacific Northwest drew her back home. Laura now lives on Whidbey Island with her husband Victor Ramos and her three sons. She works from a barn studio on their property, continuing her creative practice in the landscape that first inspired it. Her mother, Georgia Gerber—a renowned bronze sculptor—lives just down the road.
