About Us
Fine Art Touch is owned and operated by Brenda
Harness and Glen Harness. Brenda Harness received a Bachelor’s
Degree in Art Education from Columbus University,
Columbus, Georgia. She
subsequently moved to Nashville , Tennessee with her family to
accept a scholarship to Vanderbilt University Graduate School,
where she received a Master’s Degree in Art History with an
emphasis in Italian Renaissance Art.
Glen
Harness graduated from Tennessee Technological University in
1981 with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration.
After dabbling for a couple of years as a recording engineer
in Knoxville, he moved to Nashville where he joined a company
providing business software solutions to the music industry.
In 1990 he left that company to take an information technology
position at a large university.
As an art historian and former teacher, Brenda Harness has
lectured in the university system and taught art K-12 in the public
school system. She has a life-long interest in fine art, and she is
a practicing artist. Her watercolor
paintings and drawings can be found in private collections.
Currently, she writes about a
variety of topics pertaining to art and art
history.
As a family, Glen and Brenda have often
visited historic sites both in and outside the United States,
and it is from this background
that Brenda's interest in historic sites stems.
It is her hope that her work may in
some way serve to spur renewed interest in sites that have now been
lost to posterity, both ancient and recent, and to keep alive the
heritage of existing historic sites, so that they may be preserved
and enjoyed by future generations.
