ARTIST STATEMENT

In June 2019, without formal education or lessons in art he felt an urge to paint. His paintings, which primarily focus on Abstract and Expressionism, quickly became what he describes as an “outlet,” and “a therapeutic distraction from the real world.” His work has also been described as “hauntingly beautiful,” soul searching, “vivid,” and possessing “raw power.” Harris-Lee has received early accolades, love and appreciation for his work by collectors, art enthusiasts, and folks who have since become more curious about art after they met him and/or saw his work. He has also privately sold original paintings, drawings, writings and commissioned work to collectors. To date, his most memorable commission pieces were 48x60 Abstract paintings sold to a collector in Morristown, NJ.
