Gail’s paintings are a testament to the beauty of the remote landscape from which she works and are filled with a sense of mystery and uncertainty; enabling a powerful and emotional response from the viewer as they gaze into the depths of these large, invigorating works.

From small water based paintings created outside, to the large, oil-based canvases rendered in her studio, Gail aims to replicate the energy and changing sense of light, space and movement found in the coastal landscapes she uses as her inspiration.

A graduate of the Glasgow School of Art in the 1970s, Gail Harvey has been living and working in Shetland since 1988. She has exhibited her work extensively in the UK over the past twenty years, including group and solo shows in Glasgow, Shetland, Edinburgh, Bath and Cork Street, London.
