Lynne Hardy

Lynne Hardy is an illustrator whose mediums are digital drawing and painting, created in Adobe Fresco. She describes her work as colorful with modern depictions of her Navajo people and culture. She gains inspiration from her ancestors and wishes to preserve their stories. At the heart of her work is authenticity, Native representation and inclusion as she hopes to share her culture and stop harmful Native stereotypes. In 2020, she launched her small online business, Ajoobaasani, which sells Navajo products like stickers, prints and apparel. The launch of Ajoobaasani has led to opportunities to work with Native-led organizations and companies that need Native art, allowing her to become a full-time illustrator. Lynne lives in Utah.
