Sally Harrold Art
My semi abstract paintings are my response to the changing seasons, views and habitat surrounding my studio in rural mid Wales. I am a lover of colour and texture and paint mostly on large canvas using various mediums including acrylic paint and glazes, oil pastels, acrylic spray paint and charcoal.
I paint around 5 hours daily and my work changes according to the seasons. I use bold gestural but intentional marks initially which are energetic and sometimes dramatic and come from my emotional response and connection to living where i do, surrounded by and immersed in nature. I believe that subconsciously I am painting about life experiences including loss, hope and joy that we all experience in our lives and how nature is a constant source of comfort to me.
I have exhibited for the past 5 years in galleries in Wales including The Albany Gallery, Ivy House Gallery, Studio Cennen, Queen Street Gallery, Gallery Gwyn and Wychwood Art in Oxfordshire. I have sold and had work commissioned in the UK and abroad including Sweden, USA and France. I also work with a designer providing a commission service for clients wanting bespoke pieces for their home/business.
I exhibit my work in Manchester Art Fair annually in November every year and am currently working on a new collection of work including some monotone sketches on simple board which will be available online and at this year’s fair.
