personages
Cherie Harte brings her childlike and playful characters to life through a meditative process that beckons us to connect with our inner selves, confront our discomforts, demand empathy, and ultimately asks us to surrender to a deep sense of trust. Scattered bits of text intermingle with relics of childhood - hearts, rainbows and natural forms imbued with a sense of naïveté, innocence and a vivid surrendering to the emotive power of transformation.
Playful, open-hearted experimentation imbues Cherie’s work with a fresh, energetic, and unique contemporary voice.
