Elaine Harding’s Biography
Elaine Harding spent much of her childhood and youth in coastal California, where she developed an enduring fascination with the sea. Frequent journeys across the northern and central plains of the United States and across the deserts of Southern California, Arizona and New Mexico also left a lasting sense of the expanse of open landscapes. To these early impressions were subsequently added experiences of living in Scotland, Ireland, Germany, and Italy, which enhanced her awareness of nuances of colour, weather and light.
At the same time, Elaine was pursuing academic training in philosophy and Patristic theology, gaining her PhD in 1996. She became increasingly influenced by classical aesthetics, and began to explore, both as a scholar and an artist, underlying principles of proportion, balance, distance, light and colour. In 2001 she resigned her academic post to devote herself to painting, exclusively in oils. Her work is minimalist, concentrating on the integral features of each subject. The viewer is thus invited to reflect on the inherent harmony of both the external world and the interior self. Elaine has recently begun to apply these principles also to still life and portraiture.
