bio

Jeanette Joy Harris is an artist and writer located in Houston, Texas who is primarily interested in the intersection between the conceptual and the constructable. Her art works have been shown in galleries and juried shows in Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago Heights, and her academic interests include 19th and 20th century Continental philosophy with a particular interest in Hannah Arendt and Martin Heidegger. 

She currently serves as Art Director and Editor of Owlcat Press, an independent, Memphis-based literary magazine and publishing house. She also writes her own arts and culture blog, jeanettejoyharris.com, which focuses on the interplay between high art and pop culture.
