Angie Harris – Artist Statement

I have enjoyed art and photography from a young age, and I always knew that I wanted to pursue the creative arts in some manner as an adult.  While I was interested in photography when I was a kid and into high school, it wasn’t my main focus, instead, more of a hobby for me.   I became more interested in photography when I was in college, and it was after college when I started to seriously consider photography as a potential career for myself.

I am drawn to photographing ordinary things that most people overlook.  From focusing on small areas of a large object, or capturing a beautiful landscape to the stars in the night sky, I try to capture the beauty in ordinary things.
