Blanche McAlister Harris
BLANCHE MCALISTER HARRIS — A former art consultant, Blanche McAlister Harris' passion for late 19th century - early 20th century painting only recently evolved into her picking up a brush and learning to paint in oils. Since that time in 2006, she has continually studied with nationally renowned artist Andy Braitman as well as studied in workshops with eminent impressionist painter Connie Winters. In 2008, she was recognized as an Art With Heart Emerging Artist Finalist in North Carolina.
Blanche McAlister Harris is fascinated with the interplay of light and shadow, painting color that is influenced by the constantly changing light. Luscious, yet organic colors are used to interpret the light of the natural world. Shadows are no longer just dark shapes, but are filled with color. Inevitably, the paint itself becomes the subject of her paintings. Viewers are invited into her landscapes through careful composition and brush strokes.
