Christopher Harris is a photo-based artist whose work explores the American West. His landscapes and seascapes are meditations on transcendence, a quality Americans have associated with the West for two hundred years. The small “scratch” photos are snapshots from a daily journal. Currently he is beginning to photograph the remaining native tallgrass prairie that extends from Minnesota to Oklahoma.

Christopher has exhibited widely including one-person shows in Seattle and New York, and group shows in Boston, Chicago, Kansas City, and Philadelphia. Among the public and corporate collections holding his work are 4Art (King County Public Collection), Merrill Lynch, Swedish Hospital, and Oregon Health and Science University.
