Raised by two professional artists – Harris’ father was a commercialgraphic artist and her mother was a popular impressionisticpainter—T.S. Harris’s art career began at an early age. Harris’sparents moved to California when she was a teenager and opened anart gallery featuring her mother’s work. Far from being an “easy in,”Harris worked hard to create an artistic identity separate from herparents’ and to hone the quality of her paintings to earn an invitationto exhibit in the family gallery. Since that time, Harris has beenrepresented by galleries from NY to LA, with an internationalclientele including Delta Airlines. Her artwork was also featured in
the indie movie, The Face of Love and on the cover of Beaux Arts Magazine, the leadingmagazine of France. She has participated in many museum exhibitions in California with asolo exhibit of her work in her hometown, at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art.
Harris’s recent series, entitled “Lost Holiday,” was inspired by a candid photograph of awoman from the 40s or 50s that the artist discovered online. She was struck not only by thesubject matter and composition, but by a sense of identification with the idea of the womanherself, in spite of the gap of almost two generations. The resulting painting was thebeginning of Harris’s self-described obsession with bridging the past and present.
“The exciting challenge is to keep the paintings relevant and current even though thesubjects come from another era. To avoid sentimentality, I keep the compositions bold andcropped, the paintwork loose, drippy and rough, even pushing some areas into abstraction…The large format paintings of beach, poolside and travel portraits express a bit of Californiaglamour, they also carry hints of nostalgia and contemplation.” – T.S. Harris
