THE ORGANISER

Somerset artist Alce Harfield has been a professional artist for over 28 years, she started her career (after a BA Hons in Commercial Interior Design) from a barrow at The Watershed by Bristol’s docks.

Alce spent 10 years running The Silly Fish Shop in Bath and Bristol and now sells her vibrant paintings in some of Somerset’s most desirable eateries and by travelling the country from Edinburgh to Dartmouth at Art Fairs.

From being fed up with travelling to other art fairs, Alce decided to create her own in Somerset, drawing on her considerable experience in exhibiting. The Really Reasonable Art Fair in Bristol and Bath were her first events, followed by The Somerset Art Fair at The Bath and West Showground in 2015. She won The Mendip Retail Business of the Year Award and Somerset Life’s Landscape Painter of the Year in 2016.
