...Harp is a woman who knows who
she is, what she’s doing, and maybe even
how good it is. Her work is in so many
ways like her. Bold without being
brazen, educated without being too
self-aware, a combination of sharp
directness with round fullness.- Hannah Serrano, AltDaily August, 2009

About the Artist
Praise for Nicole Harp imagines herself a messenger, her hands the vehicle in the translation from soul to canvas. The strong, vibrant colors, energetic brush strokes and bits of text, express her need to relate and communicate. She beckons the viewer to join with her in her endeavor to find order and balance in a chaotic world where we feel the constant pull of opposites. -Lorrie
