Lauren Harris 

​

“The importance of art is not to replicate objects from the outside world: rather to let those objects make an internal impression.. The artist’s duty is then to allow the impressions to reflect on canvas.”

This body of work is a dedication to the alchemical relationship between humans and nature.

​

Lauren Harris was born in South Africa amidst the immense social transformation of Apartheid.
Her country has left a rich imprint of diversity on her work.
She has worked as a Curator, Gallery Director and Picture Editor for the past 9 years, and has honed an eye for beauty in the unexpected. Among the many shows curated on isle, she was selected to juror the “Primarily Red” exhibition at Maui’s
Hui No’eau in 2009.
Reflecting her own artwork, Harris was selected for juried  exhibition of “Up and coming South African Artists" in London,
and has since exhibited internationally, in Cape Town, San Francisco, Aspen and on Maui. Her works deal primarily with movement between worlds, reflecting timelessness.
