Art and Science

Craig C. Hudson was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. His early ambition was to be a painter. He attended Reed College and did graduate work at University of Oregon, becoming a theoretical physicist. Upon retiring from Sandia Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexcio, after twenty-one years, he returned to his first passion: painting. The subjects of many of his paintings were drawn from his love of science and his love of the Southwest landscape. Elianne Hudson, the second of Craig's four children, was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. With her Oregon pioneer roots calling to her, she moved to the Pacific Northwest. She is a Montessori elementary teacher. She and her two children live in Oregon. She has always had a passion for family histories.
