Helen Harris - Fine Artist
I am a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Art ( University of the Arts). A BFA in Graphic Design introduced me to a career in the commercial arts.Freelance and teaching assignments ranging from coloring books to spot illustrations later evolved to include employment in signage and display.
I was born in upstate New York. My childhood exploration of fields,lakes and mountains inspired my early interest in landscape.
While raising three daughters,my interest in painting was never forgotten.
Today I exhibit my mixed media paintings at outdoor shows and galleries in the Northeast.
Artist Statement:
Fragmented by rock forms,forests and turbulent waters, these multi-layered landscapes,seascapes and florals of mixed media define my work.
Using only calligraphic brush strokes to define detail, the mix of color is splashed through an assortment of watercolor and rice papers,papyrus and fibers.
My palette reflects the influence and experiences that I have observed from the mountains of upstate New York to the beaches of the Jersey Shore.
