Ione Harrison

Ione Harrison is a North Yorkshire-based landscape painter, with a studio in Welburn, North Yorkshire. She runs regular watercolour painting workshops across Yorkshire .

She creates vibrant, atmospheric paintings, working primarily in watercolour and ink and uses experimental techniques to create rich textures, such as wax resist, textiles and plants. Ione’s work explores themes of landscape and the natural world.

Many years of international travel as a teacher (France, the Middle East, Turkey, Nepal) has sharpened Ione’s perceptions about how landscape shapes lives and deepened her relationship with colour.

Ione’s work conveys a sense of connection with the natural world, specifically the moorland landscapes that surrounds her. She explores texture, colour and atmosphere through the water-based mediums of watercolour and ink. The four paintings on display all depict North York Moors landscapes.
