- Description:
- Acrylic painting by Alyne Harris.
Some of Harris's earliest memories are of painting in school, even while other children chose to play outside. Her paintings tend to reflect the world around her, whether seen directly or through pictures. Nature scenes are a popular theme in her work. "I love nature. Nature is beautiful to me; the sky, water, evening charms," she explains. Harris supports herself by working as a housekeeper, but finds solace in the art that she usually makes at night. She claims that, "painting keeps me in touch with myself and my memories."
