A Solo Exhibit by Linda Lucas Hardy
February 29 through April 11
In 2002, Linda Lucas Hardy made the decision to refer to herself as a professional artist. Since that decision her art, and/or articles, have been published in two dozen magazines and sixteen books. Her work has been juried into more than 80 national and international exhibitions and she’s won an equal number of awards and honors, many being Best of Show. She is an 18-year veteran of colored pencil instruction and has taught Oil Painting for the last 6 years. Linda has taught classes and workshops in 15 states and 2 countries to hundreds of students ages 8 to 88.
Before making the transition to oil in 2008, Linda spent 18 years working in colored pencil, which is where she garnered most of her notoriety. Linda eventually started experimenting with transparent glazes, much like layering in colored pencil, and became intrigued. Even though glazing is time consuming and takes considerable pre-planning, she prefers that to painting Alla Prima, a term meaning paintings done in one sitting.
Linda is a ten-year merit award recipient in the Colored Pencil Society of America, past President of CPSA 215, the Dallas/Ft Worth District Chapter and past President of CPSA 222, the Texarkana Chapter of the Colored Pencil Society of America. Linda is Signature member of the National Oil & Acrylic Painters Society, a Signature member of the Irving Art Association and has been member of the Mt. Pleasant Texas Art Society over 30 years.
She is represented by Southwest Gallery, 4500 SIGMA at Welch – Dallas, Texas 75244 – 972.960.8935- 800.272.9910 and Davis & Blevins, The Main Street Gallery, 108 S Main, St. Jo TX 76265 – 904-995-2787 – 877-221-2158.
Linda currently lives in Omaha, TX with her husband of 47 years and their two dogs, Max & Toby.
