KAGE HARP

CONTEMPORARY ARTIST

ART IS MY WAY OF COMMUNICATING WITHOUT WORDS

17849149788280973.jpg

I am an abstract expressionist painter working in mixed media. I choose to work non-figuratively because it allows me to connect to my inner world through my art. I generally start with a raw mark making process and then listen to where the rest of the painting wants to go - whether it be adding marks, colors, or obliterating what I already put down on the canvas. I primarily use acrylic, charcoal, chalk, graphite, and oil pastel. My paintings are created this way through an intuitive process eventually becoming an organic and spontaneous juxtaposition of color, lines, and marks. What emerges on the canvas is an internal language that is highly emotional and personal to me. Memories from my numerous travels abroad inspire the colors, shapes, and depth of my work; splitting my time under the big skies of Montana and the beautiful coastal waters of the Gulf infuses my work with the rhythms of nature and an expansive sense of space.

Kage Harp has been creating art since she can remember. Whether it was drawing on walls at age three or studying painting at the Academy of Art in San Francisco, she has always felt a deeper sense of self with a paintbrush in her hand. Now with over 28 years experience in the creative world, her focus on color and design result in her creation of individualized and beautifully commissioned paintings for the design world. She currently splits her time in Montana and Florida, where she has two working studios and representation across the country. Her work has been widely collected in the United States and abroad.
