Stacy Huddleston AKA Radhika's resume reads like an epic novel; her education (graduated from UT San Antonio with a B.A. in Fine Art after switching her major in Architectural Design) and experience informed by her upbringing in New Orleans, her travels to India and her life as an artist, mother and worker for social change and sustainable living in Northern New Mexico, has equipped her with a formidable energy that propels her latent talent.
Prolific and expansive, Huddleston's work reflects her kaleidoscopic nature. A Gemini, she is not limited by any one medium; moving easily and gracefully from oils, to printmaking, clay sculpture and ceramics.Her art is a joyful expression of her own considerable ability to live up to the age old maxim: Healer, Heal Thyself.
Debilitating illness and a near fatal accident forced her to retreat from showing her work and being an active participant on the Northern New Mexico Art Scene, for several years. Now, with her reclaimed health and her daughter grown, Stacy has come full circle into her own, as a mature and visionary artist.
All the elements of her life are at play in the work (new and old) she will show at Human Line Gallery on Bent Street, Taos
Brilliant color dances with form, recalling all her influences; painterly, literary, and spiritual, while her ceramic sculpture captures a stillness both modern and classical.
By remaining outside of Art trends and current Movements, Huddleston continues to find inspiration in her own experience, and most especially the certainty of Change.
