A Fayette County artist wants a judge to force Debra Hardy, the ex-wife of 84 Lumber magnate Joe Hardy, to pay $75,000 for a decorative tea room mural.
Artist Carolyn Quinn, of Chalk Hill, says the 150-square-foot mural featured life-sized French dancers and ornate flowers and other details.
Quinn says she and Hardy never agreed on a price when they struck the oral agreement for her to paint the mural. Quinn is basing her price on the 1,430 hours it took to paint, plus materials and mileage to and from her business to Hardy’s mansion in Rostraver.
Debra Hardy was the second wife of Joe Hardy, the multimillionaire founder of 84 Lumber.
