Fine art gallery exhibiting paintings, prints, photography and sculpture
Gregg Laananen - Up River
Artist’s Reception: Thursday, February 6, 6 - 8 PM
February 4 - March 1, 2025
Gregg Laananen is a self-taught artist living and working in the Skagit Valley in the Pacific Northwest. His artwork is primarily informed by observations made directly from nature. His imagery is discovered through processes of drawing, material investigation, and the role of chance and the intuition, the latter of which was highly regarded by the late artist friend and mentor, Ed Kamuda.
The exhibition, Up River, celebrates Laananen’s devotion to those rural and remote places further East in the mountains and along the Skagit River drainage. Inspired by lush forests and mountains, waterfalls and flumes, swans and ferns, Laananen creates new images from a familiar world in which we find connection and meaning.
Upcoming Exhibitions
Richard Morhous - Juxtapositions
Artist’s Reception: Thursday, March 6 - 8 PM
March 6 - 29, 2025
In the exhibition Juxtapositions, Richard Morhous delves into the interplay of light, color, and emotion. He investigates the visual similarities found across two distinct continents, North America and Europe, exploring how light and location influence his artistic choices. Through his acrylic paintings, Morhous captures uscripted, fleeting moments with people in cityscapes, urban architecture, tranquil parks, scenic coastlines, or the reflective poetic qualities of windows. His dynamic compositions invite viewers to closely examine his brushwork, experimental line drawing, and interconnected forms, often pushing the boundaries of abstraction. The artist’s careful selection of colors and mastery of light breathes life into his works, making them visually striking and engaging.

40th Anniversary Show
December 5, 2024 - January 25, 2025
End of Show Party: Saturday, January 25, 2-4 PM
Harris Harvey Gallery is delighted to announce our 40th Anniversary Show, celebrating 40 years of gallery history. Founded in 1984 by Lisa Harris and known for many decades as the Lisa Harris Gallery, and now as Harris Harvey Gallery - the gallery has seen some changes since its founding, but has been committed to the work of West Coast artists for four decades. In the autumn of 2016, Lisa Harris passed the torch to then Assistant Director, Sarah Harvey, and the gallery re-opened with its new name in a new street-level space in Downtown Seattle.
The exhibition underlines the careful, longstanding stewardship of the gallery by the two namesake directors by showcasing work by artists with gallery relationships dating back to the 1980s and 1990s next to newcomers. The intentional diversity of style, media and technique exhibited in this show reflects a distinctive creative vision that has been vital to the gallery’s history.
