Cherie Harte is a multidisciplinary abstract artist, messenger and healer.  Following in the tradition of Art Brut Harte is inspired by social and environmental stewardship.  

Through the use of paint, sculpture, unwanted textiles, fibre and found objects Harte's work acts as a metaphor for life, healing, and our undeniable interconnectedness.

Unapologetically flawed Harte’s work invites the viewer to acknowledge, and honour, all that is imperfectly beautiful, discarded, abused, abandoned, worthless, marginalized and judged.

Harte offers a healing salve to that which remains disconnected, hopeless and unsympathetic while celebrating difference in an eternal yet provisional world.

Harte beckons us to enter an enchanted world, a dream state, where we investigate our modern definition of love, connect with our inner selves, confront our discomforts, cultivate empathy and surrender into the magic we were each born to be.

“My work transports me to somewhere magical. A space where social constructs and labels dissolve and all that remains is the essence of love, vulnerability and universal connection. A place where memory and life experience meet my inner child and all of me comes out to play.  A place where I can dive in and explore love, unity and the power of transformative work. My deepest desire, my dream, my promise to myself, is to make the world a more caring and inclusive place. I believe love is contagious and creating art allows me to explore and amplify that love both in and out of the studio!”

Harte's work is held in collections throughout Canada, USA, England, Australia, Korea, China, Singapore and Japan.
