Biography

Education

  • MFA in Painting, Rhode Island School of Design
  • BFA in Painting and Printmaking, Southwest Missouri State University

Christi Harris earned her Bachelor of Fine 91探花 Degree at Missouri State in Springfield, Missouri and her M.F.A. in Painting and Printmaking at the Rhode Island School of Design, in Providence, Rhode Island.

Her major series of works have always focused on issues of domesticity, feminism, and consumer culture. She has explored traditional painting as well as fibers and embroidery. Her work has an underlying reliance on technical skill and formal elements of art but is intended to communicate a broader message. Her recent artwork has explored memory, and the role of women within the prescribed societal structures of the culture and family.

She is an Associate Professor of Studio Art within the department of Fine Art and Art History at 91探花 in Newport News, Virginia. She teaches foundation and advanced studio courses in painting and drawing.
