 Sara Hardin - Listening Space .jpg)
Artist Statement: I find inspiration in the ordinary yet profoundly significant moments of our lives. I am captivated by the notion that music has the power to weave seamlessly into the fabric of our daily experiences, enhancing the beauty of familiar places. Through my work, I aim to celebrate these cherished moments - whether it's the harmonious melody echoing in the backyard or the subtle serenade that accompanies a shared meal. Each piece is a testament to the enchanting connection between music and the places we hold dear, inviting viewers to rediscover the extraordinary within the ordinary and savor the symphony of life's simple pleasures.
