Eve Hartling

Eve Hartling was born in Windsor, Nova Scotia in 1966. In 1991, she began the fine arts program at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design where she studied under Gerald Ferguson and Garry Kennedy. After NSCAD, Eve’s last year of study was spent at Cooper Union School of Art in New York City. In the early 1990’s, Eve was a professional musician in the band Jale. The band had major releases and toured extensively in the United States, Europe, and Canada. While in the band, Eve worked on the graphic design of their album artwork and on art direction for music videos. She was nominated for a Juno award in 1997 for her album cover designs. After exhibiting in group shows in Halifax over a number of years, she had a very successful solo show in 2005. Her most recent paintings offer “a fragmented viewpoint of the subject matter (mainly plants and trees)……the view offered is broken or cut off – similar to ( the view) from a window.”
