Tiffany Hardy Cole

Tiffany Hardy is a nationally recognized mammography technologist, breast-health educator, and multidisciplinary artist whose work is deeply rooted in compassion, healing, and the lived experiences of the women she has served. With more than 20 years in breast imaging, Tiffany has stood beside thousands of patients during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives—moments that have profoundly shaped her voice, her mission, and her art. Tiffany’s academic journey began at Southern University at Shreveport, a historic Historically Black College and University (HBCU), where she earned her Associate’s Degree in Radiologic Technology. She continued her education at Northwestern State University in Shreveport, Louisiana, earning her Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences, further expanding her clinical expertise and foundation in patient care. Throughout her career, Tiffany has worked with leading institutions such as Hologic, providing education on digital mammography technology, and she has served as a respected leader in breast imaging—most notably overseeing five breast-imaging centers for Ochsner Health in New Orleans. Her commitment to patient advocacy, early detection, and women’s health education has made her a trusted figure in her field. The Pink Angels Collection, Tiffany’s signature body of artwork, was born from her encounters with the women whose bravery, fear, humor, grief, and resilience touched her heart. Each piece is an artistic tribute to a patient story—capturing the emotional landscape of breast cancer through bold color, softness, texture, and symbolism. What began as personal expression has transformed into a movement for healing. Today, Tiffany is the founder of the Pink Angels Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering women through breast-health education, community support, and the healing power of art. Her artwork has been featured in health settings, community programs, and women’s empowerment events, where she blends her clinical knowledge with creative storytelling to create spaces of comfort and connection. Through her art, teaching, and advocacy, Tiffany continues to uplift the voices of women facing breast-health challenges, reminding them—and the world—that healing is both a medical journey and a deeply human one.
