Whimsical Realism

Tanya Harsch is a classically trained painter, print maker, and children's book writer and illustrator.  (Her inner child is delightfully entrecnched in kindergarten and doesn't plan on leaving any time soon.)  She studied classical drawing and painting at both the Florence Acadmy in Florence, Italy, and the Ravenswood Atelier, in Chicago, IL.  Originally from Wisconsin, she also holds a BA in English Literature from Lawrence University.  She is a signature member of American Women Artists and a member of United Maine Craftsmen.  In her fine art, she works in oils on linen or panel, and her work can be found in private collections around the world.  Her children's books are available through lulu.com and the usual on-line giants.


She currently works out of her studio in Appleton, Maine.
