PEACEFUL MOMENTS
Kenneth Harrison began painting at a young age growing up on the prairies of Saskatchewan. He fell in love with the mountains and has spent most of his career painting the Canadian Rockies. “I love the absolute beauty of the mountain landscape. I love the serenity, the quietness. Most of my life I’ve been painting mountains. There’s really nothing else I enjoy painting more.” Harrison uses his stylized designs to fulfill his artist’s statement: “To create a peaceful, quiet, relaxing moment on canvas”. Harrison’s work is sold exclusively at Mountain Galleries (p 33) where he can often be found as an Artist in Residence. -KATE BARKER
