"My
work is influenced by childhood memories of the snow covered landscape
and clear icy light of winter in North Dakota.Ħħ After receiving
an MFA from UCLA under the instruction of Richard Marquis, Paul
opened his own studio in 1980. Drawing on his extensive knowledge
of cane and murrini techniques.
Paul Harrie's work is perfect-or he breaks them. His work reveals an interest in classical form, contemporary design and bright clean colors. Pieces are hand blown, then cut, and polished, with considerable skill and attention to detail. He searches to capture the pristine quality of new snow and the clear icy light of the winter of his childhood. He wants to make something that give the impression of opening up, peering into the ice, of looking into a geode. Paul's work is exhibited in galleries all over North America.
