Harrison
views herself as an interpreter for the viewer, and she seeks
the most dynamic means of accomplishing this end. One may expect
to experience a delightful array of magical color as it bursts
forth from her canvas and paper pieces. Her love of painting and
printmaking are evident in her oil monoprints. Monoprinting, a
five hundred-year-old technique, is known as the painter's printmaking
technique of choice. This artist is quite at home with a number
of different media and techniques and takes full advantage of
the combination of these in order to present the viewer with the
most exciting and unique perspective possible.
