Dustin Hardgrove discovered art practice at nearly 30 years old. Art appeared as a new and appropriate avenue to explore ideas of nature, environmental devastation, existence and resistance. Dustin focuses on on site outdoor painting and studio figure painting in a landscape. They are a working class artist whose creative process has blossomed in the free hours aside from labor as a fine carpenter. The ethics of hard work, project completion, and fine crafsmanship have all transferred into their practice as a studio and outdoor painter. Dustin’s art journey began with classes at the Art Students League of Denver and were mentored by notable artists Kevin Wechback, Ron Hicks and Clyde Steadman.
