Claire Jo Harmer, Contemporary Landscape Painter Based in South Devon

I have several projects on the go right now. Picturesque Torbay has been an amazing success reaching a WIDE audience with over 300 participants in the project!

Brixham’s Red Earth was a VERY exciting heritage project where we explored Brixham’s amazing history of red ochre mining and the connection with the ‘red sails at sunset’ on those glorious Brixham Trawlers from the 1800’s.

This summer I facilitated the decorating of a 3 x 2m mural on canvas with schools and a family art drop in for Devon Wildlife Trust as part of the Saving Devon’s Treescapes celebration!

We are in full swing with the Fantasy Foundry - reimagining Castle Circus as a Fantasy Landscape - LOVE this opportunity to meet people and play with watercolour and ink!

Also excited to be working with South Devon’s National Landscapes and the ‘Life on the Edge’ project!

Now busy developing brand new works at my home studio in Paignton.

I’m loving responding to places using my intuition by letting my natural impulses choose colours, marks and the composition of these landscapes.

Painting from the heart
