Jay Hardin

 

 

Jay Hardin was born in Omaha, Nebraska and moved to Arkansas at a very young age with his parents. He lived and attended school in Little Rock, on the weekends and holidays Hardin went to his grandparents’ farm in the countryside. This is where he began to examine and explore the world around him.

 

After graduating high school, with little other than a desire to see a new part of the country, Hardin moved to Tucson, Arizona and soon after attended Pima Community College and later the University of Arizona to pursue his undergraduate degree in Fine Arts. Hardin spent two years working as an artist before deciding to apply to graduate school for art.

 

Hardin received his Masters in Fine Arts in drawing and painting from Arizona State University. During his time as a graduate student he began developing experimental techniques of creating texture and pattern in is drawings and paintings.

 

In addition creating and teaching art, Hardin has a passion for traveling and learning about indigenous cultures of Mexico and Peru. He has traveled extensively through Mexico, learning about the ancient Maya, and has also traveled in Central America and India.
