Howard Harris is a Techspressionist artist who has long been fascinated by visual perception and design. The Denver, Colorado, USA native earned a BFA from Kansas City Art Institute and a MID (Masters Industrial Design) from Pratt Institute in New York, studying with internationally renowned design theorist Rowena Reed Kostellow.  Harris has spent over 35 years combining design and technology, winning many prestigious professional awards. Now, his creative energy has turned to his lifelong passion, photography.  With an iconoclastic streak that had seen him consistently forging new directions in design, he was bound to approach the photographic image in an unconventional way as well.  In 2017, Harris was granted a United States Patent titled Apparatus and Method of Manufacturing for a Layered Artwork, proving the uniqueness and inventiveness of his photographic work. Since then, his work has appeared in numerous books and publications, including ARTtour International Artists of the Decade, Contemporary Art Curator Magazine's Art Leaders of Tomorrow: Defining the Future of Art, International Contemporary Masters, and Top 10 Contemporary Artists, among others.  He has also been awarded the Artists for a Green Planet Artist of the Decade, the International Prize Raffaello, the International Prize Giulio Cesare, the International Prize Leonardo Da Vinci, and the International Prize Caravaggio, among others.  He served as a trustee of The Kansas City Art Institute and was honored with the Who’s Who Worldwide Lifetime Achievement and the USA Small Businessperson of the Year awards. His work is exhibited internationally and represented by galleries in the United States, the U.K., and Europe.
