Biography

Born in Dallas County, Arkansas, Hearne grew up among people who, like her father, made their living logging, farming, or sharecropping. "While my paintings speak specifically to my own upbringing, I hope they allow viewers of all backgrounds to glimpse a way of life that has all but disappeared."

She has received numerous awards and her work is included in private and corporate collections. Private collectors include President Bill Clinton and Senator Hillary Clinton; Mary Matalin, advisor to Vice President Dick Cheney; Harry and Linda Bloodworth Thomason, Hollywood, CA; and Julia Norrell, whose collection toured museums nationwide, 2000-2001. One of her paintings was featured in an exhibit at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, October, 2004 - January 31, 2005. Four of her paintings were selected for commemorative mugs to be marketed for the Arkansas Sesquicentennial Celebration in 1986. One of her paintings is on permanent exhibition on the Naval battleship, USS Arkansas. Her painting was selected runner-up in ArtNetwork's Millennium Edition of "Encyclopedia of Living Artists,' Nevada City, CA. Two paintings were selected by Harcourt College Publishers to be reproduced in the textbook "Looking Out, Looking In," 2002. She is registered with the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
