winston harris BIOGRAPHY

Winston W. Harris earned printmaking degrees from Virginia Commonwealth University, (BFA) and Howard University (MFA). (2016-2017) Finalist Artist: Purple Line Transit Partners Project and Sandy Spring Museum (Guest Artist Program). With Studio Grants and recently a 2020 Artist Relief Grant from the Prince George Arts and Humanities Council, Harris conducted artist in residencies and works with established artists who assist with his growth as he strives to further his knowledge as a printmaker.  His strategy has been to challenge the constraints displayed in traditional and non-traditional techniques with experiences to contemporary experimentation in printmaking. 

 

His artwork introduces two or more disciplines into one format, transforming two-dimensional prints into three-dimensional structures, applying a combination of mediums, reinventing images by recycling past artwork into new identities. His artwork is currently in collections: Maryland National Capital Parks and Planning Commission, Riverdale, MD., United States Department of State-Washington, DC, The Library of Congress-Washington, DC, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, David C. Driskell Center-College Park, MD, D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities-Washington, DC, The Federal Reserve Bank-Richmond, VA.
