Jennifer Maria Harris is an artist based in San Francisco who believes in the power of stories to

She creates oil paintings, prints, photography, murals, and interactive projects as different facets of a narrative mirror that invites viewers to discover and explore their internalized stories.

She has exhibited work across the United States and in Europe, and her public art projects have involved people from around the world in more than 15 languages.

She also likes to share the story of her ongoing process in the studio and what it teaches her about the rest of life.

Most of the time she doesn’t talk about herself in the third person.

WE’RE OPEN!

Having been quiet for a while, incubating lots of new work, I am happy to emerge into the daylight and share the first of my new series with you: these small Wood & Water oil paintings.

You can now buy them directly through my new shop.

My work is all about story, and I always wish I could hear more about other artists’ formative years. If you’re like me and are curious about things like what animal I was obsessed with drawing as a kid (but now almost never shows up in my work), you can find the answer in my new bio.

My latest blog post is in honor of my friend, John Henry Thomas, a great artist who passed away recently.
