MEET JANE HARRIS
Artist, Designer, Teacher
From Jane:
“I first discovered my passion for art at a very young age. Surrounded by creative women working in textiles and calligraphy, I always had a project in hand. As a child I lived on the edge of a small Indiana town with a corn field in my backyard. Some of my earliest memories are "running away" through the fields to collect bugs and bring them home so I could preserve them as a pinned collection in leftover egg cartons.
I first dipped my toe in printmaking in my late teens and continued to explore print in college, admittedly giving more emphasis to furniture design and sculpture. Print made it's way back to me by the mid 2000's and it's stuck ever since. I am in love with the multidisciplinary process of printmaking and sculptural aspects of it as well. Experiencing a two dimension image emerge from a block leaves me in constant awe of the process of art. My journey is much more important than the destination.”
Jane is the Director of Education at Art Center Sarasota and loves the opportunity to share creative passions with the community. She is also very passionate about her docent work at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art.
