Hello and thank you for taking the time to browse my website. 

My name is Aly Harte and I have been running my business as a professional artist since 2009. In that time my husband Michael and I have had three boys and we now have a dog called Mimi.

The business has grown organically around our kids. The boys are aged 6, 11 and 14 and I have found myself able to delve deep into the content behind my work- losing my father the week before my eighth birthday.  

  • My current work in progress is called ‘All is not lost’. So far I have three paintings that you can view glimpses of on my social media. They are a collection of places and everyday objects that connect me to my late Father.

  • ‘Aly Harte X Harrison’ Lisburn Road, Belfast , BT9

    A collection of contemporary neon paintings alongside fashion in Harrison Belfast boutique until August - September2022

    ‘Feels like home’ June 2022 at my previous studio in Holywood Co. Down. A release of abstract paintings. Thick paint, expressive brush marks and scores of graphite make up my latest body of emotionally rich paintings. The paintings are aptly named ‘Feels like home’ because they are an extension of me. They hold the beautiful tension between loss, humour and joy that I have grown up in. Abstract in style and uplifting in their display. 

    ‘Rough and ready’ December 2021. An exhibition of past and present works in my previous studio 139 High street Holywood County Down.

    ‘Mayim’ An online exhibition showing my love of water in Irish seascapes. This was held during COVID19 lockdown – 2020. Thick paint on little canvases.

    ’71’ December 2018’s exhibition of ‘71′ dainty Irish scenes to celebrate my selection for Top 100 small businesses in the UK. It was at Omnibus Home on the Lisburn Road Belfast. 

    Figures, Flowers and LA – 2017 Canvas galleries Belfast ‘Figures, Flowers and LA’ focused on my much sought after dancer series, my passion for California and new works based on my love of wildflowers. 20 original works in oil on canvas. 

    Placing Importance on the Everyday – Parliament buildings Stormont and Belfast city hall 2018 Friday 8 March 2019 I unveiled my new collection of 12 original artworks to celebrate women. On International Women’s Day, my collection featured in the Long Gallery in Parliament Buildings Stormont depicting women. They are mothers and have, in some way, inspired my own journey in the ever fraught balance of career and family life. 

    Dreaming of Summer – Seahorse Gallery Belfast 2018 Pink skies and rugged headlands can be noted as I varied between palette knife work and paintbrush to bring this collection of Northern Irish seascapes to life.Description text goes here
