BIO
Tarver Harris is an American artist working in abstraction. To her painting is an exploration into the unknown to discover something new, oftentimes an emotional journey. She revels in the pure joy of squeezing paint onto a surface and moving it around with sponges, brushes or squeegees creating unique colors and textures. In this manner multiple layers are built up and then sanded or scrapped away to expose what is underneath giving her pieces a sense of antiquity. As she delves into this tactile experience animating the design elements of color, shape and form her life is art and her inspiration is the everyday occurrences of nature.
Tarver graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Communication Arts and Design. She is an award winning graphic designer who worked in advertising and magazine publication creating a extensive print portfolio. Currently living in Stafford, VA with her husband and two dogs along Accokeek Creek. Her works are displayed online at www.tarverharrisdesigns.com, in her studio at JarrettThor Fine Arts Colonial Beach, VA. You may contact her at [email protected].
STATEMENT
I always imagined I could fly and if I had wings I would soar: ) In my work as an abstract artist I allow myself the freedom to explore new worlds patterned by energy. The different colors, textures, or symbols used transmit a certain energetic quality everyone can interpret in their own way. For me ART is a translation of information where my perspective allows the viewer the opportunity to experience something completely different, enabling small shifts of transformation and change.
