Artist Profile
Simone Harrill BAHons
16th November 1978
Landscape and Seascapes
There isn't a day that passes without my thinking 'Wow! look at that!' Nature never fails to produce land and sea scapes which seem too beautiful to be believed.
Simone studied Fine Art at the University of Wales Institute Cardiff, graduating, with honours, in 2001. She has concentrated on landscapes, experimenting with different materials to produce some breathtaking images.
Her recent work has shown a shift in emphasis towards mixing pigments with varnishes and boiled oils to produce a clearer layered effect, giving more depth to the newer paintings, whilst retaining the movement and dynamism of her popular earlier pieces.
Since returning to England Simone has exhibited in Corsham, Bath, The Citadel, Stroud House and Cardiff, as well as taking part in events and competitions, recently winning the Harry Walker Memorial prize at the Victoria Gallery in Bath, with 'Fyfield Down'.
As well as her own works, Simone has done extensive work with school children, spending two mornings a week working with primary children, including constructing a temporal sculpture trail and a semi permenant interactive piece at Box Highlands school.
Simone now lives and paints in Wiltshire, with her family.
