Jeffrey D. Harris was born on the island of Guam and spent much of his youth exploring pristine beaches, swimming through coral reefs and being surrounded by tropical jungles. After graduating from high school and attending the University of Guam, Jeff left the island to study graphic design and illustration at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. There, he spent many years exploring darkened back alleys, walking along deserted train tracks and being surrounded by a bustling and reemerging city. It is the contrast between these two very different worlds that has helped Jeffrey to form his unique perspective on life and to develop his understanding of how we humans communicate with one another. Enduring many winters in Pittsburgh after living most of his life on an island also gave him a very unique perspective on warmth... and the occasional lack there of.
