Noah Hartley

Noah Hartley is a young artist from North Carolina. From an early age art was clearly the main focus, drawing over the majority of his mother's furniture and walls. This led Noah into private home lessons in elementary school, then into advanced high school art classes, and finally into a BFA in Illustration from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

While Noah specializes in detailed illustrative works, he often practices as many various mediums as possible. His current body of work involves illustrating endangered wildlife and incorporating humans' impact on the environment while doing so. With plans to continue his career as a freelance illustrator, Noah is also focusing on trying new forms and styles as often as possible and keeping his horizons broad.

Noah is also the Visual Arts Teacher at Hunter Huss High School. He enjoys teaching art not only because it can inspire and motivate other young artists to thrive creatively, but also because it forces him to keep his craftsmanship sharp and technical skills constantly improving.
