Maeve Harris Biography

Born in New Jersey in 1976, Maeve Harris grew up on the east coast in Washington DC and outside of NYC. Encouraged by the diversity of art New York had to offer, Maeve explored the tradition and historical importance of works at the Met Museum compared to installations and contemporary pieces in galleries. She was exposed to a broad spectrum of influences, and is affected by works from living artists. Harris moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1994 where she attended Arizona State University and received her BFA Degree in photography. Her work in photographic processes carried into printmaking and painting. She references photographs and enjoys experimentation with other media to push the limits of paint. Study abroad in Italy richly influenced Maeve's life. Travel is an important part of her life and she draws from her experiences an optimistic and wholehearted spirit. She enjoys love, laughter, and is a storyteller at heart. Maeve currently resides in Seattle, WA where she paints from her studio. We have an excellent collection of Maeve Harris paintings available for sale in our Massachusetts gallery and on our website.
