BIOGRAPHY: Born in New Mexico and as an adult a resident of Espanola, New Mexico, Helen Hardin was the daughter of Herbert Hardin and Pablita Verlarde, famous Indian woman painter. Helen Hardin's work showed a transition from traditional Indian painting to more modern, abstract images--some of them Cubist--and a more painterly style. She focused on patterns to reflect daily Indian life rather than realistic depiction. Her work also expresses a deep personal mysticism. She was a member of the New Mexico Council of American Indians and has performed as an actress on television.Growing up with a mother who was an artist, she had early exposure to art training. She spent her first years in Santa Clara and then moved to Albuquerque where she attended Piux X High School. She studied art history and anthropology at the University of New Mexico, was briefly at the University of Arizona, spent some time with weaving and textile design, and then returned to her first love, which was painting. Her mediums are acrylics, inks, and washes.In 1964, she had a one-woman-show at the Enchanted Mesa Trading Post in Albuquerque, and in 1968 had a one-woman show in Bogota, Columbia, with nearly everything sold. She has won many prizes including the Avery Memorial Prize in 1975 at the Heard Museum in Phoenix.
