Hi there, I'm HarriART

I'm a friendly and enthusiastic Artist, Graphic Designer & Photographer based in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion.

 

An artist for as long as I can remember, I have been very lucky to have been involved in various creative and community projects from a young age. I studied graphic design in the West Midlands before going off to study Fine Art at Aberystwyth University. I graduated in 2014 and, having fallen head over heels for the place, I've happily lived in Aber ever since.

An 'eclectic' mixed media artist, I work and experiment with a variety of media and techniques; including illustration, photography, handmade crafts and graphic design.

My work is influenced by my local surroundings, and the precious, spontaneous moments or details that tend to find me while I'm out and about. I like my art to be playful and accessible, just the way I believe art is supposed to be!

As an artist and wildlife enthusiast, I am particularly inspired by the natural world and the diverse wildlife I encounter across Ceredigion, Wales and the West Midlands. My art explores the relationship between of our natural and human worlds, the impacts they have on each other, and the sometimes surprising ways they manage to co-exist.
 

I have been working professionally as HarriART since 2017 and so far it's been an absolute blast! My business is separated into two divisions: HarriART Art & Photography and HarriART Graphic Design.

My varied academic and professional experiences of these two fields are the key ingredient to the way I work, a combination of the discipline, promotional skills and technical expertise of a graphic designer with the curiosity, freedom and creativity that can only come from being an artist.

​​

Other areas of interests include gallivanting, learning the welsh language, tomfoolery and wearing as many colours as I can in a single outfit.
