"Whale watching from the boat, We saw a brief but thrilling flash of a Minke Whale" great excitement all round. "
 
Be it river, sea or lake, painter Sharon Harvey has always been drawn to water. Her favourite walk is a coastal path, along towering cliffs with views of endless sky, above hidden coves that are exposed only periodically by the tides. From Scotland’s Outer Hebrides to Wales’s spectacular heritage coastline, to the untamed edge of Cornwall, her paintings explore the beauty of our island landscape in a rich palette of Raw Umber, Green Gold, Yellow Ochre, Cobalt Teal and the endless variations of Payne’s Grey.
Following a research trip to the South West Hebridean islands Mull, Iona, Eigg, Muck, Canna and Rum Sharon has produced a body of work exploring memory and the sublime and what it means in contemporary landscape painting today.
 
Sharon graduated with a First-Class Honours Degree in Fine Art, was shortlisted for the National Graduate Award, and gained representation with London based art consultants Artiq. She is represented by Greenstage Gallery in Herefordshire and exhibits regularly at The Sanctuary Studio & Gallery in Newnham on Severn, where she also acts as Gallery Director. Her works held in both UK and International private and public collections.
