About Me

The Creative-Native Project
Fran Hardy received a Florida Individual Artist Fellowship and has had six solo museum exhibitions one of which was a 15 Year Retrospective. "Fran Hardy, In a Brilliant Light" a documentary about her work aired on Orlando PBS, WMFE-TV in conjunction with her traveling show of the same name across the state of Florida in 2001. A recent traveling show entitled "Pentimento" traveled to museums across the country. Select PBS stations and FEC/PAEC-TV, continue to air new documentaries on her work as well as The Creative-Native Project series. Ancient trees and primordial plants provide symbolism and fertile material for her works. Her drawings and paintings of trees, are part of a lifelong preoccupation that centers around very elaborate, otherworldly large scale drawings and their interpretation into paintings. Madelon Sheedy, Curator at the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art has said of her work "It is obvious that Fran Hardy paints what interests and inspires her, emphasizing the interplay between light and dark and forcing us to look at, rather than into or through the commonplace. The elegance in her work heightens the importance of the ephemeral and makes it timeless."
