About the Item
Deep pastel colors enliven this painting of a polar bear in the ice by listed California artist Helen Ray Harris (d.2001). Signed lower left corner "H. Harris". Unframed. Image, 16"H x 20"W.
Helen Ray Harris, 20th Century, was born in England. She received her initial art training in her native England and immigrated to the United States at age 19. Prior to her arrival in the U.S., and shortly afterwards, she worked repairing and restoring antique furniture. Harris worked for the Prudential Insurance Company for most of her career, while pursuing her part time art endeavors.
Upon her retirement, and after moving to the Monterey Peninsula, she pursued her art career on a full time basis. Primarily a self taught artist, she painted in watercolors, acrylics, and mixed media. Known primarily for her landscape depictions of the Monterey Peninsula, she did spend time studying with renowned Monterey area artists Elizabeth Palmer, Mary Titus, and Joseph Nordmann.
Harris was a long time member of the Artists Equity and the Central Coast Art Association. She exhibited frequently in both of those venues. She was a member of the Board of Directors of the Central Coast Association for over ten years. She exhibited at the Venture Gallery in Monterey, the Vest Pocket Gallery in Pacific Grove, and the Fort Ord Gallery at Fort Ord.
Her works are in collections worldwide. At the time of her death in 2001 she resided in Carmel, California.
