Pamela Smith Hudson

Pamela Smith Hudson is a Los Angeles–based artist whose abstract practice explores land, memory, and place through layered, materially driven surfaces. Informed by printmaking and working across encaustic and mixed media, she creates topographical compositions that function as physical and conceptual mappings—recording time, memory, and lived connection to Los Angeles's landscape.

Smith Hudson’s work was featured in Charting the Terrain, a two-person exhibition at the California African American Museum in 2018, and is included in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the California African American Museum. Her practice reflects a sustained, intuitive engagement with materials and abstraction as a means of understanding place, history, and environment.
