International Baccalaureate art teacher at Thomas Jefferson HS. As an R.E.B. award recipient, Mr. Harnsberger had the opportunity to travel to Greece where he studied small still life paintings of local foods and artifacts from the region. "I attempted to create one painting per day for a month and found that I really need to return to being an artist myself, and not just an art teacher. When I returned to Richmond, I spent time to rehab my garage into a studio/gallery and set up my first solo art show. Through this process I have been able to rekindle my appreciation for painting. Now I make time each weekend to focus on making at least one painting. My goal is to have another art show this Spring."
