The Dalles Chronicle, September 9, 2004
     Pauline G. Hudson, 81, a former resident of The Dalles and a resident of 
Medford for the past 35 years, died on Sept. 4, 2004 from cancer.
     She was born May 13, 1923 in Astoria and has lived in Coos Bay, Eugene, 
The Dalles, John Day and Medford.
     A lifelong artist she earned a bachelor’s degree at the University of 
Oregon in architecture and allied arts, then did graduate studies at Parsons 
School of Design in New York.
     She married Thomas Russell Hudson Jr. of The Dalles, following his return 
from World War II. They celebrated their 52nd anniversary in 1999, a few 
months before his death. 
     Furthering her artistic knowledge and techniques, she studied in Italy 
and the U.S., attending workshops held by renowned artists including Daniel 
Greene, Morris Smith, Diana Willis and Barbara Neches. Her mediums of choice 
have been oils, encaustic, pastels and penline.
     During her life she completed more than 200 major pieces and hundreds of 
sketches and water colors, many the treasured possessions of friends and 
family members around the U.S. She was the subject of three one-woman shows, 
was an invited artist for juried exhibits in Portland, New York, Salem, 
Medford and several other west coast cities.
     Her works have hung in galleries in Oregon and California including the 
Portland Art Museum. She also donated works to support fundraising auctions 
and events for local charities and galleries. 
     Between 1968 and 1985 she turned her skills toward commercial graphics, 
radio and print advertising, and television production, working as an 
advertising consultant for banking firms and several local businesses. She 
also was requested to create a series of detailed drawings to illustrate a 
breakthrough medical procedure and was published in medical technical 
journals. 
     She is survived by a sister, Florence Tripp, Portland; a son, Tom Hudson, 
San Jose, Calif.; a daughter, Heidi Baer, Folsom, Calif.; and two 
granddaughters, Ashley and Amy Baer.
