Rauha Hartt graduated from Goldsmiths College, London in 2009 with MFA. She works in the  interface of painting and dance, combining the two into performative experiments. The resulting paintings contain the energetic "evidence" of the dance that happened during the process. Hartt has also conducted various community projects combining dancing and painting, in her native country Finland and abroad.

She has participated in both solo and group exhibitions and done performances in Finland and abroad since 2003. She lives and works in Espoo, Finland.
