About Chloe
About the Art
Granddaughter of iconic Australian artist, Pro Hart and daughter of David Hart, Chloe is now making her own mark as a professional artist. Born in 1994, Chloe sold her first painting at the age of 11. Every year since, she has produced very limited works, all of which have been snapped up by savvy investors.
Being a part of the Hart dynasty and having the Harts’ artistic genes passed down to her, Chloe has naturally explored a number of techniques. At a young age, she was given art lessons from her father, David Hart, and Grandfather, the late Pro Hart. In the early days of her career she followed closely in her father's footsteps painting mostly beach scenes and dragonflies. In her teenage years, however, she began experimenting and developed her own style which she liked to call 'abstract action paintings'. The non-representational, unique form of Chloe’s abstract art made them a popular choice for art buyers. It was these paintings that created high media interest when exhibited in Generation Next, a showcase of three generations of Harts – Pro, David and Chloe.
Over the years Chloe has received huge media interest and has been included in many stories Australia wide.
In 2009 she was featured in a full-page article in Women’s day and in 2010 she was featured on a children’s television programme called The Shack which was telecast to over 15 countries.
She featured in Girlfriend magazine in 2011 as part of their Role Model series. The article discussed her inspiration and her focus on achieving her goals.
She was asked to be an Ambassador for Read2Remember, an initiative of SunnyKids, developed to help our younger generations understand the importance of Remembrance Day in a positive way.
Chloe’s early 20’s saw a new style emerge with her love and appreciation of nature becoming evident in every piece. She also puts her hand to painting modern pieces of sculpture.
About the Writing
Aside from art, Chloe has always held a twin flame for writing. It started with an almost obsessive love of stories; she would pour through books and hoard them to re-read later, daydream of characters, spend hours thinking about the ideas brought on by particularly good movies. It wasn't until middle school that she started to really appreciate and see grammar and syntax not only as a way to communicate a story more effectively, but as a new level of creativity within itself.
In 2019 Chloe completed her master’s at the University of Queensland in Writing, Editing and publishing, following a bachelors in Creative Writing.
Chloe's recent collaborative exhibition Women in Art was a milestone in combining the two seemingly-competing passions in her life. She displayed a collection of work with each painting having its own accompanying short story. She published a hard-copy anthology of the stories for the exhibition, which is still available upon request.
Chloe played a key role in collaborating with her father, David Hart, as well as Chelsea McGuffin and her team on a project for QPAC (Queensland Performing Arts Centre). Together they developed concepts for a motivational story about one of David’s artworks to be presented as a physical theatre production. This is hoped to be fully developed in the coming year.
