Evie Harra is an artist who gains inspiration from her experiences of synesthesia. Evie experiences sounds, people’s emotions, and experiences of urban places in color; color is her first language. She paints cityscapes reflecting her colorful feelings about the spaces we occupy every day, from Bart station exits to Muni rides. Her art practice serves as a method to ‘get out her colors’ as a version of color therapy. Evie’s art practice translates her lived experiences into colorful paintings, serving as an outlet to share.
