Selling art just kind of fell into place for Montrose native Theresa Hardy. With her background in architectural drafting, it is no wonder her favourite subject is mainly drawing buildings.
Afterwards, she got married and started to raise a family on their dairy farm. Here, she put her skills to work and drafted a few house plans for people in and around her community. She also had a long career as a dairy farmer.Theresa Hardy enjoys painting buildings, boats and animals. - Contributed
Today, Hardy uses Faber-castell Albright Durer watercolour pencils for her art. With her background in architectural drafting, it is no wonder her favourite subject is mainly drawing buildings. She also likes drawing boats and painting animals.Although watercolour is her favourite medium in which to work, Theresa Hardy is hoping to attempt more acrylic pieces in the future. - Contributed
Out of everything she paints, Hardy says her most popular subjects are those she has done of lighthouses and animals. She also does a lot of commissions of portraits for family dogs. But when it comes to inspiration of what to paint next, she says that if she sees a picture of something she might like to paint, she always first asks permission to use the owner’s photo. She also belongs to a Facebook group where photographers allow artists to use their images for painting.
Creating art is not a full-time endeavour for Hardy. As a recent retiree, she says she dabbles in art in between traveling and visiting people.
