Starr Hardridge, born 1974 in Texas and raised in Oklahoma is a Muscogee Creek/Irish American Painter. His work uses an assemblage of pointillist colored dots to convey the feeling of beadwork. Schooled in traditional disciplines of classical painting, his style continues to evolve with an abstract symbolism influenced by a struggle for balance in the natural world. His bold use of color and geometry wield a modern twist inspired by Muscogee pattern and design.

Hardridge’s work can be found in collections such as The National Museum of Wildlife Art. The National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, The Eitlejorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art to name a few. He is currently represented by Blue Rain Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
