Sasha Harding

Sasha was born in Bath but raised on the south coast of Dorset. One of seven children she was encouraged to paint from an early age and had her first exhibition at the age of fourteen with an older sister in the sitting room at their home. She won an Art Scholarship to Marlborough College, which was followed dy a Diploma and Fine Art Degree.Influences include the Scottish colourists and the Newlyn artists, Stanhope and Elizabeth Forbes. Sasha works with a limited palette of three colours and white to simplify and unify her paintings. Composition and narrative are essential elements of her work, with figures usually included to create atmosphere.

Sasha now lives on the south coast of Cornwall which she finds a stimulating place to work. She is constantly drawing from her surroundings and using the coastal environment as an inspiration for her work.
