Biography
Biography
Hardy died in Jamaica Plain, Mass. After a long painting career. Hardy was especially known for her floral paintings, of which The Roses is one of the most well-known. Hardy also taught art and guided other female painters, including Charlotte Baldwin, Grace Hemenway, Florence Jennison, Nellie Lincoln, Mary Merrill, Katherine Parker Stewart, and Emma Webb, in the art of florals. She focused her energy mostly on detailed still life paintings, but as her vision began to fail, she started to create less detailed pieces.
