Our "Artist of the Month"
Maurine Harris
July , 2010
Maurine’s yen for painting could best be described
as an itch that would not go away.
After many years of “closet painting” while raising her eight children,Maurine finally decided to fully enjoy the painting experience.
With the children gone and while she was holding
down a full time job in Salt Lake City, she began
to pursue an art degree.
The instructors were excellent teachers and gifted artists who had a great impact on her desire to continue learning and developing.
Maurine has had the opportunity to receive instruction from such inspirational artists as William Scott Jennings,Ron Chesley, Betty Carr, Jill Carver, David Koch,Del Parson, Joni Falk, Susan Gallacher, Sam Lawlor, Carl Purcell and Roland Lee.
Now working in her own studio in St. George, Utah, Maurine is becoming recognized as a painter of color and variety. She has won numerous awards and recognitions in local exhibitions
 
In 2008 she became involved with the Mariposa Fine Art Gallery and the Split Rock Corporation. This cooperative project required the creation of twenty three paintings for the $5 million show home, Bramasole.
She is active in the promotion of art in the community as a member of the Visual Arts Association and Southern Utah Watercolor Society.
 
Her paintings are currently on display locally in the Main Street Gallery, A Passion for Painting Gallery and Victoria Lane Gallery in Panquitch. She also participates in various exhibitions at the St. George Art Museum, the Mesquite Art Museum and the Staircase and Rimrock Galleries.

Maurine's art will be on display at the Mesquite Fine Arts Gallery
through July 31st. The Gallery is open Tuesday
through Saturday, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
