“Echo of Kifaru’s Survival”, oil on canvas, size: H 51” x W 39” __ 2010 Molded by a unique blend of African and Western culture (“Between Worlds”), and using oil on canvas, I strive to build aesthetic tension and to engage the viewer through visual narratives whether the images represent contemporary portraits, surrealistic animal human fusions or current political interpretations. With each painting I’m challenged anew to attain not only technical virtuosity, but also interesting conceptual content. Composition is the cornerstone of my work. I spend time contemplating diagonals, movement, and light before I begin. As a painting progresses I concern myself with figurative accuracy and expression, initially keeping my palette in a low color key, committing myself to detail and highlights only when I feel satisfied with proportion and general appearance.Combining my ability to absorb visual material into my mind’s eye with a gift to sketch from memory and imagination, and drawing upon years of experience as an illustrator as well as countless hours spent drawing from the figure, I embark on a visual journey to capture the essence of my dual-cultured personality in a series of paintings under the title “Between Worlds”. -Veronika Hart Veronika Hart15 Village Springs LaneHendersonville, NC 28739828-696-2278Emailverohart@mac.com The child of German/Jewish settlers Veronika was raised on an isolated farm, among the leopards and tea fields of Tanganyika. Outside the homestead, Africa teemed with millennia of oral traditions. Wild life roamed the bush. And expansive vistas opened out over the Great Rift Valley below. Inside the farmhouse, without running water or power, telephone or other industrial comforts, European traditions reigned supreme: home made gingerbread cookies, Christmas trees, and Brothers Grimm at bed time. Then came British type boarding schools, Dickensian in their rules.As in her own life, so also in her art: Veronika developed between worlds. From the figurative heritage of Germanic and African lore at home, she was suddenly thrust into highly abstract teachings at Art school in Europe, and later, as an illustrator, into the cutting edge requirements of commercial art in New York. There, she was inducted into the prestigious Society of Illustrators, and later went on to win several prizes at the Art Student League of N.Y., Salmagundi Club, Silvermine Guild Art Center, Catherine Lorilland Wolfe Art Club and other art establishments.Despite the pressures on her to conform, Veronika embraced her own, unique form of expression: figurative, albeit increasingly surrealistic portrayals of life between worlds. From that mysterious place, she explores the contradictions of humanity and its often-brutal impact on our environment, even as she celebrates the wonder that is our global heritage.

size: H 51” x W 39” __ 2010
Molded by a unique blend of African and Western culture (“Between Worlds”), and using oil on canvas, I strive to build aesthetic tension and to engage the viewer through visual narratives whether the images represent contemporary portraits, surrealistic animal human fusions or current political interpretations. With each painting I’m challenged anew to attain not only technical virtuosity, but also interesting conceptual content. Composition is the cornerstone of my work. I spend time contemplating diagonals, movement, and light before I begin. As a painting progresses I concern myself with figurative accuracy and expression, initially keeping my palette in a low color key, committing myself to detail and highlights only when I feel satisfied with proportion and general appearance.Combining my ability to absorb visual material into my mind’s eye with a gift to sketch from memory and imagination, and drawing upon years of experience as an illustrator as well as countless hours spent drawing from the figure, I embark on a visual journey to capture the essence of my dual-cultured personality in a series of paintings under the title “Between Worlds”. -Veronika Hart

The child of German/Jewish settlers Veronika was raised on an isolated farm, among the leopards and tea fields of Tanganyika. Outside the homestead, Africa teemed with millennia of oral traditions. Wild life roamed the bush. And expansive vistas opened out over the Great Rift Valley below. Inside the farmhouse, without running water or power, telephone or other industrial comforts, European traditions reigned supreme: home made gingerbread cookies, Christmas trees, and Brothers Grimm at bed time. Then came British type boarding schools, Dickensian in their rules.As in her own life, so also in her art: Veronika developed between worlds. From the figurative heritage of Germanic and African lore at home, she was suddenly thrust into highly abstract teachings at Art school in Europe, and later, as an illustrator, into the cutting edge requirements of commercial art in New York. There, she was inducted into the prestigious Society of Illustrators, and later went on to win several prizes at the Art Student League of N.Y., Salmagundi Club, Silvermine Guild Art Center, Catherine Lorilland Wolfe Art Club and other art establishments.Despite the pressures on her to conform, Veronika embraced her own, unique form of expression: figurative, albeit increasingly surrealistic portrayals of life between worlds. From that mysterious place, she explores the contradictions of humanity and its often-brutal impact on our environment, even as she celebrates the wonder that is our global heritage.
