Captivating original mixed-media and acrylic floral artwork

This beautiful "Garden" piece by artist Patricia Harris is Acrylic/Mixed Media on stretched canvas and measures 24"x 24".

Born in Buenos Aires, Patricia made the bold decision almost 36+ years ago to emigrate to the United States in search of new opportunities and experiences. Throughout her life, she has worn many hats, including that of an architect, but her love for art has remained a constant force in her life. In her retirement, she has chosen to fully embrace her passion for art and has devoted her time and energy to creating beautiful and thought-provoking pieces. Her style, cultivated through years of practice and exploration, is rooted in abstract expressionism. Harris opted for this style as a challenge given her technical background, but it also allows her to fully explore the use of color, shape, and composition in her work.

Bring spring and beauty inside every day with this piece in your home, or gift it to someone you love!
