Maeve Harris (born September 1, 1976, in Princeton, NJ) is an American abstract painter whose work investigates color and light. She is influenced by natural and organic forms, but her paintings reveal a focus on the medium itself. Mixing her own pigments, Maeve uses multiple layers of color and metallic to suggest the passage of time and change of perspective. She uses a variety of inks and pigments to mix color and light into her work. Her approach to traditional subjects such as landscapes, figurative, or animals are met with the experimentation of form, material, and technique. As an innately creative individual, most of Harris' youth was spent exploring a broad spectrum of influences with a focus on art history and literature. Her process and work ethic are inspired by artists who tap into their intrinsic selves and who work ceaselessly on their craft.
