Mint Hill Arts is proud to announce our esteemed judge, Harris Holt III. Harris Holt was born in Massachusetts but moved with his family to North Carolina in 1967. His paintings reflect the beauty and power of both the Northeast and the Southeast.His love of the natural beauty of the earth shows through his paintings of land, sea and sky.
As a teen, Harris studied with Al Fincher, noted watercolorist and teacher. Except for these studies and a degree in Commercial Art and Advertising design he is self taught.
His work has been selected for many juried shows including the Southern Watercolor Society Watercolor Annual Exhibition and the North Carolina Watercolor Society 50th Exhibition.
Harris Holt's watercolors and oils have been collected by numerous corporations including Alltel Inc., Bank of America, Coca-Cola, Wells-Fargo, Hatteras Yacht and many more.
Mr. Holt is currently the curator of the Bank of America Art Collection which is one of the world's greatest private collections. Can you imagine coming into contact with many of the world's finest works of art as your job!!!
One of his current projects is being in charge of selecting, placing and installing artwork in the new Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Uptown Charlotte. Many of the wonderful pieces are gleaned from the Bank of America's vast collection and his effort has contributed to making the new hotel one of the Queen City's crown jewels...truly spectacular!
