Hello!
Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to visit my site.
Fun Fact ... Did you know I used to be an art teacher? I also used to write a blog for parents, teachers, and caregivers of young children called Pink and Green Mama. I spend my time here now, making art in my studio and sharing my work with the world, but I would like to invite you to look at my Art Lesson Ebooks in my shop if you have young children in your life and want to share art and creative experiences with them. They are packed with all kinds of hands-on ways you can CREATE, PLAY, and EXPLORE with them!
xoxo MaryLea

What a great turn out! I had SO much fun meeting each and every person who came out in the cold so graciously to wait in line at the pub house this evening. It was so fun hearing about your Jubelale stories, family traditions, what you do with your posters, etc. Thank you for the kind words, warm smiles and hugs. I had so much fun! And, an extra big thank you to my dear friend, Kimberly Teichrow for taking this great photo and documenting the evening for me.
MaryLea Harris First Friday Booth at Deschutes Brewery October 2017, Bend Oregon
I loved hanging out at Deschutes Brewery Public House this past First Friday in downtown Bend. It was so great to see so many friends and supporters that stopped by my booth. I'm showing a few new pieces at the pub for the month of October as their artist this month. It's the preview leading up to the launch/reveal of my artwork on October 16th for this year's Jubelale Beer Label.
Adorable happy customer with one of my NEW LOVE Wins Tote bags!
It was such an honor to create a piece of artwork for the permanent gallery collection at Deschutes Brewery. It was also really neat because it's the 30th anniversary of Jubelale this year and I'm the first artist that has been asked to create more than one piece of artwork for the label - Hooray! I actually painted 4 different snowflake paintings from the same series for the commission this year!
I brought a batch of my new original art tote bags to the show - they're perfect holiday gifts!
Happy Customers make my HeART Happy!
If you're in town, stop by the downtown pub house next Monday (October 16th) I'll be there signing posters and we'll have a free tasting of this year's beer!
I have a small show of older work up for September and October over at the Sunriver Library. My 2-dimensional painting and mixed-media pieces are being shown with husband and wife team, Bob and Sandy Lercari's fused glass work. Their work is very colorful, bright and bold - it is the perfect compliment to my Happy Leaves and abstract Map paintings there. Open during library business hours, free to the public. Please stop by and check it out if you're in the Sunriver area this fall.
So great to have my family here to support me for my show at Natural Edge Furniture.
The opening reception for my show at Natural Edge Furniture was a smashing success. Despite the heat, we had a full house! I set up a kid's activity station, Natural Edge provided refreshments and I sold three (!) of my paintings. Thank you to everyone who came out to support me and toured the show. We had a great time at this Family Friendly event. I appreciated the write up in my favorite local blog Living the Bend Life. An extra special thank you to Natural Edge for hosting my favorite show of the year. I love your space and can't wait to come back next fall for my September 2017 show!
