Harli Tree Creations
HARLI TREE
Harli Tree is an outsider artist (self taught), who began creating to overcome personal difficulties. The process of self expression had a positive impact on health and wellbeing, and one of self healing. To date Harli Tree has had several individual and group exhibi- tions, a piece of art in an auction at the Royal Academy and won various awards for photography. Harli Tree not only does painting but various creative ventures, such as photography, renovating furniture, making customised handmade vintage and industrial furniture made from raw mate- rials that makes them very eco friendly.... The list of creativity can go on and on........ Harli Tree has developed, plan and facilitated a art work- shop on empowering women - these women have had some form of sexual abuse, and there art was displayed in the Anglia Ruskin Centre.
