Sometimes the nicest moments are the unplanned ones. A few days ago, I visited the sweet and talented Marit Harte in her home atelier and took a few shots of her as the sun slowly dipped.

Marit told me how she finds her inspiration in the energy and movement of nature. As she layers plaster, foam, papier-mâché, and reclaimed materials, her work grows into textured, organic forms that embrace imperfection. Every curve, crack, and irregularity carries a story, full of soul and authenticity.

At and through , we love connecting with artists who explore depth, meaning, and craft in their work. Capturing Marit and a few of her creations was inspiring and yet so real, celebrating both her work and her vision. So if you haven’t already, please check her out 🤍
