ione harrison art
Painting mainly in watercolour and ink, Ione’s art is inspired by the natural
world around her and the land and seascapes of her childhood. Her paintings
capture the ever-changing light and mood of moor, hill, woodland and coastline.
With an abstract, expressionistic quality to her art, she paints mainly with
colours in a minor key, rather than the main points of the colour spectrum,
accented with inky vibrancy, to realise a sense of shape, colour, pattern and
texture that evokes a spiritual truth present in the landscape - deeply embedded
in nostalgia and her sense of place. Drawing on inspiration from both her
childhood in Yorkshire and her travels around the globe, she incorporates the
rich heat-soaked colours of the Middle East and Asia to create atmospheric
images that transcend the physical world revealing a metaphysical sense of
being.
