Cort Hartle is an artist living and working in the Philadelphia area. Their multidisciplinary practice explores personal and collective memory, storytelling, and relationships to place through painting, ceramics, archives, and text-based media. They are interested in the complex connections between people and their social and physical environments, and the processes through which they are built and changed. In addition to their personal studio practice, they believe in the power of artmaking as tool for collective liberation and publish the quarterly anthology zine Substrate.

Cort’s work has been exhibited nationally by art spaces such as Field Projects (NYC), Big Medium (TX), the Johnson Fine Arts Center at Northern State University (SD), and the Tampa Museum of Art (FL), among others. Notable publications include Saw Palm: Florida Literature and Art at the University of South Florida Press, Creative Quarterly, and the anthology Cipher: The Semiotics of Love and Desire. They earned a BA in Anthropology from the University of South Florida in 2018 where their research interests centered around public history and material culture, and have maintained a professional practice in collections care.
