James Hardman: Island Magic

Inspired by daily walks on Orcas Island and journeys to outer islands, my paintings portray the San Juans at their most tranquil and pristine. My style incorporates elements of woodblock, pointillism, mosaic, and traditional glazing techniques, and my work can be found at Chuckanut Gallery in Bellingham, Two Moons in La Conner, Crow Valley Gallery in Eastsound, and at the James Hardman Gallery in Olga.

James Hardman grew up in Edmonds, WA, and studied painting at Fairhaven College in Bellingham. For the past 45 years, he has lived in a small beach cabin on the north shore of Orcas Island, where he has pursued a number of creative interests, including painting, ceramics, sculpture, poetry, and music composition.
