In the sweltering heat of the Arizona desert, where saguaros thrive and tumbleweeds are plentiful, Christopher Harris creates art under the watchful eyes of his assistants: two fat, adorable cats named Crystal and Stormy. He has participated in several group exhibitions and has been published multiple times in the Gila River Review, an online literary journal at Chandler-Gilbert community college. He also won Best Community College 2D Work in the Masters of Tomorrow Art Scholarship Contest in 2014.
Currently, he is working toward his bachelor’s degree at Benedictine University, Mesa Campus and hopes to continue his education and obtain a master’s degree in order to become an art instructor.
A few artists that inspire him include:
- William-Adolphe Bouguereau
- Peter Paul Rubens
- John Singer Sargent
- Donato Giancola
- David Gray
- Wylie Beckert
