Biography
Anne Harmon is a painter born in North Dakota, currently living in New York for 25 years. She studied Life Drawing at UCLA before moving to Europe to continue her studies in art, language and culture. There she studied sculpture in Lucerne, Switzerland and settled in Florence, Italy at L'Accademia de Belli Arte to focus on painting. After all her travels, Anne found her abstract paintings sprawled into wide skies similar to the vistas she left behind on the plains. This connection to nature continues to inform her paintings. Her work has been shown in galleries in Rome, Florence and New York. Since moving to New York, she has been working as a scenic artist in film, tv and theater and most recently held a permanent position at the Metropolitan Opera. She is currently working full time in her studio in Nyack, NY.
Artist statement
Connection to nature and our waterways' delicate ecosystems infuse my abstract paintings with a sense of tender insistance. The incorporation of the figure enhances the story of humankind find its proper place in caring, rather than dominating, our surroundings.
