About Me
Overview
“Harriet Hue is a contemporary artist based on the Isle of Wight, originally from Sussex, UK.
A First-Class Fine Art and Art History graduate (2001), she is known for her bold use of colour and expressive oil paintings.
Her work spans portraiture, still life, landscapes, and seascapes, blending traditional techniques with modern abstraction. With a dynamic fusion of form and emotion, Hue’s art transforms personal narratives into compelling, universal themes that resonate with her audience.”
Personal statement
I was born in West Sussex, in the south of the UK, and grew up in a creative and supportive family that encouraged my passion for art from an early age. This led me to pursue Fine Art and Art History at Northampton University, where I graduated with First-Class Honours in 2001.
Subsequently, I studied in Brighton to enhance my skills in digital creativity, deepening my understanding of illustration and design. Today, I still blend these digital techniques with traditional fine art methods, much like Hockney, as part of my creative process.
In 2006, I settled on the Isle of Wight, which shifted my artistic focus from landscapes to seascapes.
In June 2016, I entered, The Sky Arts - Landscape Artist of the Year. Made it Through as a WILD CARD to paint Scotney Castle in Kent. Great experience!
Teaching remains important to me as well; I believe in sharing my skills and paying it forward to inspire the next generation of artists.
My studio is based in Cowes and I currently work with Cowes Gallery, Seaview Fine Art Gallery and Artfinder online.’ You can also find a range of prints of selected works on Etsy
If you would love to chat art then you can often find me working in Cowes Gallery on the high street in Cowes, Isle of Wight or at my studio which I share with Robert Longford Photography.
