Christopher Hudgens (born December 13, 1977 in Houston, Texas) is a contemporary U.S. artist.


[edit] Early life

Christopher grew up in Bacliff, Texas, during the 1980's. Bacliff was originally a wealthy vacation spot in the early 1900's that has passed on and over time became extreemly poor & at-risk. The city of Bacliff and county of Galveston as a whole was largely a Oil & Gas port town that became residential holdings for larger nearby cities like Texas City, Texas that housed oil refineries such as British Petroleum & Texaco.

Christopher studied at the University of Southern Illinois from 1999 to 2001, graduating with a BFA in Painting. He then moved to Chicago and began showing paintings & intaglio prints in varrious parts of the city over the next 5 years.
