Noel Hart is an Australian artist celebrated for his multidisciplinary practice encompassing blown glass sculptures, paintings, and mixed media works. His art is a vibrant exploration of biodiversity, transforming the natural world into dynamic forms of expression.

Hart’s paintings, marked by a fluid and intuitive approach, blend diverse methods and aesthetics, underscoring the interconnectedness of art and the environment.
Hart’s connection to nature has been a driving force throughout his career. Originally from the city, he was drawn to the countryside and relocated to a forested area in the late 1980s. Immersed in this rich ecosystem, he encountered a variety of species and landscapes that inspired his creative process. This profound engagement with his surroundings led him to explore multiple mediums, including painting, carving, and glassblowing, each tied to his fascination with the natural world. Now living on the coast, Hart continues to draw from his ever-evolving relationship with nature, expanding his artistic repertoire and perspective.
