Gainesville, FL Alyne Harris 1943- Paintings

Information: Alyne Harris is a self-taught artist who was born in 1943 and has lived in Florida most all of her life. She supports herself through painting and by working as a housekeeper. She paints in acrylics on board, paper and canvas and uses brushes, her fingertips, or anything available such as a stick or kitchen utensil. Alyne paints into the night, using generous amounts of acrylic paint to portray scenes of her rural surroundings, and religious scenes, including angels and devils. She takes her inspiration from religion, black history, and remembrances from childhood and nature. Alyne's work is included in the collections of the Rockford Art Museum, the New Orleans Museum of Art and the Asheville Art Museum. Hoodoo Mo Gallery
