ARTIST BIO: “Color possesses me. I don't have to pursue it. It will pursue me always...” - - Paul Klee Influenced by natural and organic forms, Maeve Harris renders expressions of color and light. Created with a variety of inks and pigments, her paintings reveal a focus on the medium itself. She concentrates on the integration of traditional subject matter with contemporary styles and techniques. Maeve was born in 1976 and grew up in New Jersey. As a child, she became an avid equestrian and has a passion for horses. She also fell in love with the creative process early on. She began oil painting at the age of eight and has never stopped. As an independent spirit, most of Maeve’s youth was spent exploring and soaking in a broad spectrum of influences with a deep interest in art history and literature. The core of her inspiration comes from artists of all kinds who tap into their innate self and who work incessantly on their craft. Some of her favorites include: Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Cezanne, Klimt, Rosa Bonheur, Jasper Johns, Atget, Weegee the Famous, Jacques-Henri Lartigue, Nina Simone, Dolly Parton, Kurt Cobain, Missy Elliot, Cate Blanchett, Alan Cumming, John Irving, Monty Roberts, Gene Kelly and Auntie Mame to name a few. Harris moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1994 where she attended Arizona State University and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in photography. Her work in photographic processes carried into printmaking and continued full circle into painting. She references photographs in her work and enjoys experimentation with other media to push the limits of paint. Travel has richly influenced Harris’ life both personally and artistically. In college, she studied in Florence, Italy, and still loves to wander in cities all over the world. She enjoys love, laughter, a good bottle of wine, and is a storyteller at heart. Currently she resides in Seattle Washington with her two sons David and Maximillion. She paints everyday. ARTIST LOCATION: Tacoma, WA MAEVE HARRIS DAWSON DESIGN ASSOCIATES 6

ARTIST BIO: In my figurative drawings, I collaborate with dancers. I enjoy how their improvised movements impel my execution to become spontaneous and intuitive. The repetitive lines gradually accrue and become layers, just like in a music, when voices associate to form a Fugue, repetitive lines harmonize and visualize motion/time on a still canvas.
