Tate Harmer

Surrealist Acrylic Painter

Studio 2z

Welcome to my world—a space where reality blurs, and people and nature merge into something both familiar and fantastical. My work is rooted in fantasy and escapism, giving life to creatures that lean off the wall, as if reaching for a conversation.

They carry a whimsical innocence—sometimes curious, sometimes afraid—reflecting the emotional terrain I explore within myself.

I’m a self-taught artist who paints on canvas or wood, primarily using acrylics. My creative process is deeply introspective; each piece begins by looking inward and pulling something strange and tender into the light.

My earliest influence was my dad, a quiet visionary who crafted his own characters every Halloween. Watching him create without hesitation—just pure freedom and play—left a lasting imprint. That spirit lives in my work today.
