Alice Harrison

Born in New York City - art in some form has always been and will always be part of me and my life - even when earning a living in other fields and raising a family. Working in layers, technically, intellectually and spiritually I create images and sensations of color, harmony and joy. I am inspired by materials I have collected as well as by traditional art materials in my studio. Combining things with a former life with with new materials has been a wonderful challenge. My process is intuitive-starting with materials and marks that I make with no preconceived plan. In each piece of work there can be a range of media from just one to a combination of mediums. Inspiration comes from the inside-based on my personal distillation of the external world.

My work has been exhibited widely in galleries and universities throughout the United States as well as Europe, Mexico and New Zealand. I have been recognized with numerous awards and several grants.,
