Biography
Painting is a journey where there is always opportunity for personal discoveries. It starts with an inspired vision that ends with a finished work of art. The destination may be a favorite place or subject. The path taken has been developed over time, learned from others who have been there, and from years of personal effort and stumbles. If it is a thoughtful process, one should learn new things along the way. With some optimism, maybe a new direction is taken, based on intuition and impulse to reach a new, unplanned destination. It's about making careful choices, investing valuable time, reflecting on the result, and deciding which path to take next.
Born in 1956, Philip Harris has been painting for over 25 years. While enrolled at Muhlenberg College in Pennsylvania, he took as many art history and studio classes as he could as a pre-med student. His earlier paintings reflected the scenery of the Finger Lakes as he practiced surgery in Ithaca, New York. His works were available through local galleries after a successful one-man show. He continued his painting journey for the next 20 years after relocating his surgical practice to Palm Beach County, Florida. His creative approach was upended after taking a workshop with Scott Christensen in the Tetons. Realizing the importance of painting from life, gathering information through plein air efforts, and studying the effects of light, opened a new door to developing an artistic vision. Taking the easel outside and basically re-learning to paint has been a slow but necessary step to grow as an artist.
