Jane Harris

Presented by City Gallery

Harris received B.A. degree from Brown Univ. in Art History. Studied Art Students League, NY. Apprenticed with designer Lester Beall. Worked on staff of APPAREL ARTS (ESQUIRE) and HARPER’S BAZAAR. Solo and collaborative installations from 1997-2010 at Silvermine Guild Art Center, New Canaan, CT, New Britain Museum of American Art, John Slade Ely House, New Haven, CT, among others. With varieties of paper, new and recycled, she uses an etching press and hand tools to ink, paint and draw on these surfaces. There is no preconceived image to be developed. She might start with an image or text and transform it into a new one. When pulling a print, it might be slightly off-register but this keeps the history of the process alive.
