Accent Art Glass Presents: About the Artist
Paul Harrie's work is perfect — or he doesn't send it out. His work
reveals an interest in classical form, contemporary design and bright, clean colors.
Pieces are had blown, the cut and polished with considerable skill and attention to
detail.Harrie, born in North Dakota, searches to capture the pristine quality of new snow and the clear icy light of the winters of his childhood. He strives to create the impression of opening up and peering into the ice or geode.
Paul has had his own studio in Southern California since 1980. He taught for several years as a glass instructor at the Long Beach and Northridge campuses of the California State University, and as an assistant glass instructor at UCLA.
Paul's work is exhibited in galleries all over North America. His work has also been
exhibited at the Nelson Art Museum in Kansas City and the Royal Art Gallery
in Kyoto, Japan. In 1980 and 1981 his work was selected for publication in the
Corning Museum of Glass' New Glass Review.
