Jamaican Vibes

Kenneth Harris was born and grew up in Jamaica and has been creating art since early childhood.  He has won numerous awards for art including Jamaica's National Poster Competition for high Schools nationwide.  He became a working artist while in High School doing artwork and displaying them among businesses. He has also done murals for several companies.  Kenneth then decided to broaden his artistic touch and started studying pottery which awarded him a three months trip to then West Germany in 1988. There he participated in a few International ceramic shows. He partnered with German renowned potter, Heidi Kippenberg. After returning to Jamaica Kenneth stayed focused on Art and Pottery. He started to display his work.

Kenneth moved to Florida. He maintained his commitment to art and continued producing. Kenneth's work has been exhibited a few times in galleries and restaurants. He also does his own framing.

Kenneth's paintings focus on the natural beauty of Jamaica, in particular the green lush landscape of his home town, Portland. He is a great fan of legendary Bob Marley and always have a desire to do portraits of him. In addition to Kenneth's likeness of tropical landscape, he does still life, figure and abstract. His preferred medium is oil.

Kenneth is constantly inspired by landscape. He goes around with a camera taking pictures of scenes which he later paints. He goes all out to frame his art and thinks that framing plays a major part in the quality of his productions.
