Ang Hart is a multifaceted artist, psychologist, and passionate advocate for social change, residing in the picturesque Hilltops region of NSW. She maintains a deep connection to the vibrant mining towns of Cobar in New South Wales and Kalgoorlie, Western Australia (her hometown).
Ang's artistic journey is characterised by a profound exploration of rhythm, disruption, and the complexities of the human experience.
“My art is about imploring the viewer to embrace the experience and really feel all of the endless possibilities of what the art can be, and create within the individual.”
Artist + activist = Artivist

She encourages viewers to ask deeper questions about themselves, their emotions, and the world around them, fostering a sense of community, empathy, and collective healing.
Ang’s artivism has been impacted by the Guerilla Girls and Australia’s own Knitting Nanas and Rory Banwell. Artists including Helen Frankenthaler, Joan Ross, Louise Bourgeois, Del Kathryn Barton, and Frida Kahlo have influenced Ang’s art journey. Texts from Brené Brown, Cixous (1976), Bell Hooks and Virginia Woolfe grace Ang’s bookshelves and inspire her research and creative practice. Mention must be made to Jackson Pollock, David Bromley and Mark Rothko for their influence of Ang’s artistic style.
Ang has supported me in transforming my home into a vibrant, fresh, and crisp new space. Her connection, knowledge, and passion shine through her work which is truly thought-provoking and captivating. I would recommend Ang’s spirited and energetic art for your home and business. You won’t be disappointed!
