Claire Hardy

Claire grew up in California, often drawing. An art teacher in middle school taught her how to shade to create the illusion of form and she has been drawing realistically since.

After art school, she backpacked through Europe and the Middle East for five months studying art, culture and history. She then moved to Sewickley.

She continues to study and experiment with oil painting, always eager to learn from the next painting. Her work is found in numerous collections in the Pittsburgh area, in the Southwest and in Europe.
