Pink Harrison began her love affair with painting and developed her technique with her husband, the artist Michael Harrison (1948-1983), when they were living in Rome. Painting in watercolours is a challenge kept fresh by constantly experimenting with different handmade papers, pigments and other materials, often sourced from her travels. A stay in Japan was a huge influence on her creativity, and whilst there her unique hanko was carved, now a familiar part of her signature.
She has exhibited both jointly, with Michael, and solo in Italy, France, London, Edinburgh and the Cotswolds where she now lives. Her paintings are widely collected.
Inspiration is drawn from subjects as diverse as a matchbox, a lobster or a ladybird, and also from her garden.
Pink’s studio sits beside the stream that runs through her garden and past the silk mill in Broadway, Worcestershire where visitors are welcome by appointment.
Pink regularly undertakes commissions and is happy to discuss any ideas or requirements you may have. Overseas shipment can be easily arranged and quotes are available upon request.
