Harrison Blackford on Finding Originality and Tuning Your Style

Enjoy today's honest, heartwarming, and fun loving conversation with Harrison Blackford. Harrison Blackford is a Charleston, South Carolina based abstract and impressionist artist who believes there can never be enough color on a canvas. She enjoys using energetic colors and vibrant hues to inspire a work of art. Harrison is captivated by the fact that a single painting can illuminate a space and tie an entire room together. Her passionate use of color and energetic brushstrokes infuse her personality into each one of her expressive paintings.   Harrison grew up in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and developed a deep interest in the arts and interior design at an early age. Later, studying art history and art at the University of the South: Sewanee, she continued to seek inspiration from historic artists as well as current artists of today. After her college years, she continued studying artists of new and old; In the summer of 2019, she had the chance to study the works and painting styles of Cezanne & Van Gogh in Aix-en-Provence, France. Harrison was fortunate to paint in the exact same locations where those artists painted some of their most famous works. To this day, this experience and the landscapes of Provence still serve as a constant influence for new work.   Over the past twelve years of her art career, Harrison's artwork has been featured in some of the most prolific art/home magazines, online publications, and blogs in the industry. This has led her to have shows across the United States and collaborate with many nationally known brands as well as interior designers.   Harrison Blackford Art Studio is located in downtown Charleston, S.C. The studio serves as a working gallery and studio space. While she is there painting, appointments and walk-ins are welcome. Having painted full time for twelve years, Harrison sells and ships her artwork internationally. She currently keeps all available pieces at the studio, which are also listed on her website. (www.harrisonblackford.com) Charleston continues to serve as an illuminating creative community for the fine arts and she is always finding inspiration in the landscape and architecture of the lowcountry. Harrison enjoys nothing more than a beautiful South Carolina day, windows up in her studio, and paint on her canvas. Feel free to contact the studio for any inquiries or to make a studio appointment.    www.harrisonblackford.com Instagram  - @harrisonblackfordart
