Jill Hudson is a graduate of Falmouth College of Arts. During her degree she studied for three months at the Accademia di Belli Art in Venice. In 2005 she travelled as Expedition Artist with Raleigh International in Chile and was able to work with the expedition members and to explore with them different art forms and local traditional crafts. She is a gig rower and sails regularly on pilot cutters, the vessels themselves often forming the inspiration for her painting. As an artist she is interested in depicting the beauty of the inconsequential moment - a shaft of light across a bay, a shadow rippling on the water.
