About Harriet Millar

Harriet Millar is a Christchurch-based New Zealand artist whose landscape paintings explore the colour, light and character of Aotearoa. Working primarily in acrylic, she uses expressive brushstrokes and layered paint to create textured works with a strong sense of movement and atmosphere.

Largely self-taught, with a year of art school training, Millar returned to painting when the youngest of her five children started school. A workshop with artist Richard Claremont in 2018 helped shape her direction, supporting the development of her full-time creative practice.

New Zealand’s dramatic landscapes are central to her work. Bold colour and an intuitive approach to paint offer a fresh perspective on familiar places, balancing the energy of the land with a sense of joy and connection.
