I have been painting since the late 70's and have tried most media. My art education started at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and finished with Carnegie Mellon in the early 90's. I have been a student and also a teacher and understand there is always more to learn.

Michele Harris is available for private bookings

I would commission portraits of pets and places.
