About
Hi, my name is Michael Harris. I currently live in Sydney, Australia. I completed a BA in Fine Art at the National Art School, Sydney in 2000. In 2008 I graduated with a Masters Degree in Fine Art from the New York Studio School in New York, where I lived for 6 years. I grew up in rural Victoria, the son of a diary farmer. After attending boarding school I spent several years living in Melbourne experimenting with theatre and acting, before travelling to Europe and living in London. In 2010, I received a scholarship through the Rome Art Program, travelling to Italy and spending two months in Rome drawing and painting.
Returning to Sydney, I enrolled in a two-year filmmaking course which I completed earlier this year, directing my first short film Blackout. I'm currently entering Blackout into a number of well-known short film festivals.
Since 1996, I've exhibited both in Australia and overseas.
