Ann Hardy/ NOAPS Master Artist
Ann Hardy is an award-winning artist who has earned signature or master signature status in a number of organizations including the Oil Painters of America, Outdoor Painters Society, American Impressionist Society and NOAPS. Ann’s paintings have been shown in numerous juried and invitational exhibitions across the United States earning top awards including Best of Show and People’s Choice awards.

She practices this approach to life and her art in her 12’ x 12’ treehouse studio.
Ann’s work has been featured in American Artist, International Artists Magazine, Southwest Art, “Splash 6”, “Splash 8”, “Watercolor Magic” and four “How Did You Paint That” books. Ann is currently represented by Ann Hardy Gallery (Colleyville, TX), Davis and Blevins - Main Street Gallery (Saint Jo, TX), Holder Dane Gallery (Grapevine, TX), and Weiler House Fine Art Gallery (Fort Worth, TX).
