Grace Carpenter Hudson (1865–1937) was an American painter renowned for her sensitive and detailed portrayals of Native American subjects, particularly the Pomo people of Northern California. Born in Potter Valley, California, Hudson was deeply influenced by her surroundings and the indigenous cultures she encountered. Her work is characterized by its ethnographic accuracy and empathetic representation, which set her apart from many of her contemporaries who often depicted Native Americans through a romanticized or stereotypical lens.

Hudson's most famous series of paintings, often referred to as the "Little Mendocino" series, features intimate and poignant portraits of Pomo children. These works garnered significant acclaim during her lifetime and remain highly regarded for their artistic and cultural value. Hudson's meticulous attention to detail and her ability to capture the essence of her subjects' experiences and emotions have made her paintings enduringly popular.

Throughout her career, Hudson produced over 684 numbered oil paintings, along with numerous sketches and studies. Her dedication to her craft and her subjects was unwavering, and she often spent extended periods living among the Pomo people to better understand their way of life. This immersive approach allowed her to create works that were not only visually striking but also culturally respectful and informative.

In addition to her artistic achievements, Hudson was an active member of the art community and participated in various exhibitions and organizations. Her contributions to the field of ethnographic art have been recognized posthumously, with her works held in numerous public and private collections, including the Grace Hudson Museum in Ukiah, California, which is dedicated to preserving and showcasing her legacy.

Grace Carpenter Hudson's work remains a significant and respected part of American art history, offering valuable insights into the lives and cultures of Native American communities at a time when such perspectives were often overlooked or misrepresented.
