| Claire
Hardy has been drawing since she childhood but didn't attempt painting
until attending college. When she and her husband moved from the Southwest
to Sewickley in 2001, they set up a studio. Having space to paint
daily has been instrumental in developing her skill in painting. She
brings fresh colors and compositions to traditional still life oil
painting.
Giving
herself over to her dream of painting has not only enriched her
life but has also inspired others. She continues to meet others
who have put off painting but still feel a desire to paint.
