Ann
Hardy is living life as fully and well as she knows how. For Ann, the joy
of painting is in the process (journey) and not the destination. Growth in
life and art is the most exciting thing she can think of. Her philosophy
is to keep moving, but not in the direction that fear makes you move. You
must be willing to risk and be at home in your own skin. For her it's fun
to be slightly?? eccentric. (And she plays that to the hilt) by painting
in a 12 by 12 foot tree house, and the following:
|
|
She has cooked for 6 others on a 51 ft. sailboat in the Grenedine Islands
|
|
|
Drove a van of 8 women artists (on an art workshop) in
Guatemala

|
…and
the most precarious of all -- deciding to earn her livelihood as an artist with
a history of only 4 years of oil painting (1969 - 1973) and not painting again
until starting water-media in 1993.
