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.

In the fall 2023 she will teach a workshop at a castle in France, where artists will stay and enjoy the southern French food and scenes. I paint because it’s the best way I know to communicate, study, and observe creative work that’s how Texas painter V…. Vaughan (the first initial stands for Virginia) describes her drive to create fine art. “It’s a calling,” she says of her life’s work, which has taken several twists and turns but has, nevertheless, led her down the path toward fulfillment. A lifelong Texan, Vaughan grew up in the Austin area and today makes her home in Round Rock, a suburb of the capital city. As a child, she exhibited a love of making art and played the role of the creative one among the seven children in her family, eventually working for several of her siblings as a sign painter and designer. Her parents forever encouraged her to appreciate and mine her passion, instilling in her that it was not simply a passing fancy, but an innate gift. “It was always conveyed to me that this was a God-given talent,” she says. Somehow that made me feel like it was something I was supposed to do. It gave me permission to pursue it. Vaughan attended college on an athletic scholarship, though she filled her schedule with art classes and subsequently secured an internship at an advertising agency. That introduction to the corporate world set her off in a new direction—she left school to parlay the summer job into a full-time position. She continued to work as a commercial artist for many years after that, winning several prestigious ADDY Awards and working on high-profile accounts for Samsung, the Lady Bird Johnson...Category
