Helen Hardin (Tewa name: Tsa-sah-wee-eh, “Little Standing Spruce”) (American 1943–1984) was a Tewa Pueblo painter known for her highly intricate, geometric style that merged Native American symbolism with modern abstraction. Born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, she was the daughter of Santa Clara Pueblo artist Pablita Velarde and began exhibiting and selling work at an early age. Hardin developed a distinctive technique using layered paint, ink washes, airbrush, and fine stippling to build complex, luminous compositions often referencing corn, kachinas, and Pueblo cultural motifs. Her work reflects a synthesis of spiritual inquiry, personal identity, and formal experimentation, and she is recognized as a key figure in the development of contemporary Native American painting in the 20th century.
