ABOUT

My formative years were spent training at Ballet School and then I spent a season with the National Youth Theatre. Subsequently, acting and modelling took me from London to Rome. Whilst living there with my late husband, artist Michael Harrison (1948-1983), he encouraged me to paint and taught me to develop my watercolour technique, and my life changed direction.

After Michael died, a period of worldwide travel followed, sketchbook in hand, and I found Nepal and Japan especially inspirational. My hanko was carved for me in Tokyo - it is my unique form of ‘Harrison’ in ancient Japanese script which has been part of my signature since.

My love of theatre and dance has brought me back to sketching and painting dancers in rehearsal and musicians at work.

I regularly undertake commissions, and am happy to discuss any ideas or requirements you may have, and overseas shipments can be arranged.

I now live in a converted silk mill in Broadway (hence all the ducks…) and my studio there was once my mother’s pottery studio.

Please drop me an email if you would like to arrange a visit or discuss a commission: pink@pinkharrison.co.uk
