Maddi Harris
Living in the quiet corners of Wurundjeri Country in Victoria, Australia. A lover of the water and the changing colours of the sky.
Working mainly in oil paints both in studio and plein air, I aim to create pieces that represent the glow of the natural world and my subject(s).
Internationally trained archaeologist with artwork in international research institutes in the Middle East (W.F Albright Institute of Archaeological Research) as well as drawings and illustrations published in academic journals and manuscripts.
I am drawn to the mystical paintings of Ferdinand Knab (1834-1902) and the unforgiving seascapes of Ivan Aivazovsky (1817-1900)- as well as modern tonalists such as W.P Stork.
