Hendersonville, NC
Veronika Hart was born and raised in Tanzania on an isolated farm overlooking the Great Rift Valley. Her everyday life was shaped by African and European traditions.
As in hen life, so also in her art, Hart developed between two worlds. From Germanic heritage and African lore, 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 Lorillard Wolfe Art Club, N.A.W.A., and other art establishments.
After moving to Hendersonville, NC, ten years ago, she continued to grow creatively, absorbing imagery and culture and enjoying her new surroundings in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.
Despite pressures to conform, Hart has always embraced her own unique form of expression: figurative, albeit increasingly surrealistic portrayals. From that mysterious place she explores parallels and contradictions, focusing on today’s challenges while also celebrating the wonder that is our global heritage.
