Biography

Melvin Harris – Visual Artist
I am a visual artist and I love to create a varying range of images that inspire and amaze, from photo-realistic scenery to “other-worldly” abstracts. In my work one may perceive a facet of my dream life, catch a glimpse of a thought, experience or wish that I have had during my life. My work is created using 3D modeling software, 3D landscape software and fractal generating programs and printed on high quality watercolor paper and canvas using Epson Archival inks.
I am a native of New York City and now reside in Saint Albans, Vermont.
My background is in commercial art and I worked for many years in California as an illustrator and graphic artist. I intensively studied Water Color and Acrylic painting, Life Drawing, Graphic Art and Design, Technical Illustration and Airbrush Photo Retouching during the time that I lived in California.
My prints are on display at various office and medical buildings in Burlington, Vermont exhibited by the Burlington City Arts Council. I also have prints displayed at the Village Frame Shop and Gallery in Saint Albans. My work may be seen in International Contemporary Masters V – a juried annual art publication.
