Journey of Limitless Opportunity Artwork

Birdy Harrison is a painter currently located in Los Angeles who has been fascinated by art and art processes her whole life. She had the good fortune to take traditional art classes as a child and then majored in studio art in college. However the knowledge gained from classical approaches, standard art making techniques and realism left her unsatisfied. She turned to experimenting and problem solving on her own with alternative materials and her work has taken an abstract turn. She earned her MA in education so that she could share all of her learning and enthusiasm through teaching art in public schools, art centers and galleries. Having lived in the countryside of Connecticut, metropolises of New York and Los Angeles, and the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, she has always been attracted to both cities and nature. Her art may start out with something realistic from life, but then she brings something new and emotional to the work making it abstract, focusing more on the elements of art themselves such as color, line, shape and texture. Her work has been exhibited and collected nationally.
