Mary Hardy Grierson

Mary Hardy Grierson is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Mary Hardy Grierson spent weekends sketching backstage at Bristol’s Hippodrome while working the ticket booth. She turned circus posters and pantomime ads into bright, flat paintings that feel like live action paused mid-laugh. See how she framed The Rastelli Clowns’ upside-down teacups in Chocolate & Company—it’s the kind of detail you’d miss in a photo but can’t unsee once you spot it.
