A North Dakota native, Harmon began her creative career in Los Angeles, working on film sets while studying art at UCLA.  She later continued her studies at L'Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, Italy, where she focused on classical studies in life drawing, anatomy and art history.  There she began painting large abstract works, while also continuing her life drawing and sketchbook practice.  After returning to New York, Harmon spent 25 years painting for film and television sets and on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera.  She is now fully immersed in her studio practice in Nyack.  Her work has been exhibited in group shows at Time & Space Limited in Hudson, NY and at Lagstein Gallery, Perry Lawson Fine Art in Nyack, NY and a solo show at Bau Gallery in Beacon, NY.
