Jane Wells Harrison, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>By Gina Malone<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Jane Wells Harrison was going through some of the art she created in childhood and recognized in those earliest pieces the patterns and shapes that still show up in the work she creates today. \u201cI have always been drawn to geometric shapes and color,\u201d she says. \u201cI was enamored with making marks and creating a visual record as soon as I picked up a big brush and painted at a stand-up easel in kindergarten. It was the most wonderful thing I had ever done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it came time to attend UNC-Greensboro, her parents were not in favor of art as a major. So, Wells Harrison says, \u201cI majored in Child Development and kept painting.\u201d During her career as a social worker and program director for government agencies, she painted on her own time. Finally, in 1989, she left the field of social work behind and began painting full-time.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_76825\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76825\" class=\"wp-image-76825\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cover-Artist-Jane-Harrison-IMG_0052-Routes-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cover-Artist-Jane-Harrison-IMG_0052-Routes-copy-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cover-Artist-Jane-Harrison-IMG_0052-Routes-copy-2-300x297.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cover-Artist-Jane-Harrison-IMG_0052-Routes-copy-2-1024x1012.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cover-Artist-Jane-Harrison-IMG_0052-Routes-copy-2-768x759.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cover-Artist-Jane-Harrison-IMG_0052-Routes-copy-2-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cover-Artist-Jane-Harrison-IMG_0052-Routes-copy-2-810x801.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cover-Artist-Jane-Harrison-IMG_0052-Routes-copy-2-1140x1127.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-76825\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Routes. Jane Wells Harrison, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The encouragement of fellow artists led to her decision to seek an MFA in painting and drawing. \u201cI started on that degree at East Carolina University the same semester that my oldest child entered UNC as a freshman,\u201d she says. \u201cArt school was particularly gratifying, and the chair of the painting department, Paul Hartley, was an important mentor.\u201d Afterwards, she taught studio classes, design, painting media and art history at Caldwell Community College &amp; Technical Institute (CCCTI), and became director of the college\u2019s art program.<\/p>\n<p>She works in the mediums of watercolor, oil, encaustic and collage, and also creates jewelry from vintage tin using a collage method. Art, for her, is a process of constant problem solving and decision making. \u201cI always start with color and shapes, then work back and forth, adding and subtracting as I respond to what the marks suggest,\u201d she says. \u201cA painting takes on a persona and it speaks to the artist in this way. I love this phenomenon, and I make a conscious decision to follow where the painting leads. Therefore, I do not begin any work with a preconceived notion of what I want the end result to look like.<\/p>\n<p>This is my method no matter what media I may be using\u2014collage, oil, watercolor or encaustic, or a mix of media. As I work, I am making decisions based on design principles such as unity and variety, rhythm, movement and balance, constantly evaluating how it looks: Is it interesting? Does the work give the eye a pathway with quiet and active places? Does the work engage a viewer?\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_76826\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76826\" class=\"wp-image-76826\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cover-Artist-Jane-Harrison-IMG_0058-Marina-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cover-Artist-Jane-Harrison-IMG_0058-Marina-copy-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cover-Artist-Jane-Harrison-IMG_0058-Marina-copy-2-300x294.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cover-Artist-Jane-Harrison-IMG_0058-Marina-copy-2-1024x1004.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cover-Artist-Jane-Harrison-IMG_0058-Marina-copy-2-768x753.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cover-Artist-Jane-Harrison-IMG_0058-Marina-copy-2-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cover-Artist-Jane-Harrison-IMG_0058-Marina-copy-2-810x794.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cover-Artist-Jane-Harrison-IMG_0058-Marina-copy-2-1140x1118.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-76826\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marina. Jane Wells Harrison<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A feature of encaustic that she particularly likes is how it allows her to make marks in the paint with tools to create texture or mark variety. \u201cChannels created by tools can be filled with other colors of encaustic paint and then scraped to clean up the shapes,\u201d she says. \u201cTherefore, the way I work is a matter of addition and subtraction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Often, she will work in a series, selecting a design element and exploring it in a variety of related ways with variations of color, size and scale, repetition, pattern and other features. \u201cIf my art wasn\u2019t evolving,\u201d she says, \u201cI would be worried. I try to stretch! My work has evolved from plein air and more realistic work to abstraction and back again, but an interest in color and shape relationships has been a constant in all my work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A residency in Ireland took Wells Harrison away from Hurricane Helene\u2019s devastation and a loss of electricity at home the Monday after the storm. \u201cThe month in Ireland I spent working was a relief, but my subject matter was most inspired by being in Ireland,\u201d she says. Established in 2015, the Olive Stack Gallery Artist\u2019s Residency Program is based in Listowel, a town in southwest Ireland. Her decision to attend was made at the urging of a friend and painter, Jean Cauthen, whom she has known since high school.<\/p>\n<p>Since retiring from teaching at CCCTI, Wells Harrison has continued to teach classes at other schools, including Pocosin Arts School of Fine Craft, Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, and Penland School of Craft. \u201cI cannot say enough about the support, expertise, camaraderie and community found at craft schools such as Penland,\u201d she says. \u201cI have many connections and great friends as a result of my experiences there\u2014and I learned numerous techniques which have expanded my studio practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_76828\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76828\" class=\"wp-image-76828\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/cover-artist-people.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/cover-artist-people.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/cover-artist-people-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/cover-artist-people-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/cover-artist-people-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/cover-artist-people-810x1080.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/cover-artist-people-1140x1520.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-76828\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Clockwise from top left) Winter; Coach; Tanya; and Ingrid.
