About the Artist

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.
