“Paintings tell stories…they tell mine and yours.”
– Brooke Harker, artist
“In some ways, my paintings are time capsules,
and I’m a historian of the ordinary.”
– Brooke Harker, artist
“Brooke is the quintessential artist with an artist’s soul. She has a unique lens on the world that is both spiritual, profound, emotional, discriminating, perceptive, intuitive and wise. Mostly she is in love with beauty and contains a joie du vivre which she translates to her canvases which then transform their future homes. Artists who see the beauty in daily life, nature, and the world are particularly valuable because they restore our humanity, our spirit, and our perspective. Brooke, an alchemist, turns dullness into joy and beauty. She is a living treasure we are grateful to know.”
– Dana, art collector, San Diego County
“Brooke Harker looks at the world with a very sharp eye. She describes what she sees as so many networks of structures, setting up a web of impressions that reveal both the strange and the familiar in ordinary and spectacular places alike. In this way, Harker gives these places a new texture and a new consistency…one we never saw before — but may have sensed down deep.”
– Peter Frank, curator, international art critic, The Huffington Post, Fabrik Magazine
“On the map of her canvases, Brooke Harker pictures the land she imagines with her portrayal of hope; it is the city of the sun we yearn for.”
