www.barbaraharmon.com Hello! My name is Barbara and I’m a painter and an illustrator.

I am trained with a Master's degree in medical illustration (University of Illinois, Chicago) and a Bachelor's degree with a double major in zoology and fine art (University of California, Berkeley). My proclivity for art was a no-brainer, as I grew up with a mother who painted watercolors. As a science illustrator, I have been able to combine my love of the living world with a drive to document i

t. I am perpetually entranced by combinations of color, form, and light as they work in the natural world. Awards, clients, and collectors include the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Massachusetts Audubon Society, Guild of Natural Science Illustrators, Association of Medical Illustrators, the National Parks Academy for the Arts, and the American Academy of Equine Art. My science murals can be found across the US from Hawaii to Alaska. Fine art pieces have reached Europe and Australia.

And a random post.
Because I am filing stuff.

King Taco is gone, and so is my dear Zante. The queen (Tori) though, is still here as my best companion. I never actually finished this painting but hey, it "looks good from the road!" as a medical illustrator friend and I joked.

In spite of retirement I sometimes get asked for re-use of certain images. This is one of my most popular. I painted the original by hand and later scanned it, and touched it up digitally.

Created originally for Parker River National Wildlife Refuge on Plum Island, northeast MA., about 16 feet in length. Now can be sized up or down. Most requests are a smaller image about 18" in length. This time it will act as part of an exhibit at Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve... back in my old neighborhood - on Cape Cod!

Now that I am concluding my 24-year stint in the horse world (at least as far as ownership), I am going to somehow (no idea how this will materialize or what exactly it will entail...) return to my original love, my roots - which is simply nature itself.

Random Illustration post.
These from a Watson Glen State Park (NY) exhibit.
1) geological features of a “hanging valley” and its association with retreating glaciers and Seneca Lake
2) the typical angle of sunlight hitting the gorge and the resulting differences in microclimate and vegetation

Heading north.
I thought my snowbirding had ended, but apparently not!
Tori as expected has been a star traveler, and Kai has already arrived at her NH destination.
I'm enjoying the trip with mind-altering podcasts (for the better - !! - no worries)

Adding to the post on Dorothy Ryder Pool Wildlife Sanctuary. Difficult job for various reasons but hopefully they are pleased with results!
Forest Underground. Final mural measures 12' x 3'.

Chipmunks, acorn cache, ringneck snake, earthworms, millipede, eastern cottontail babies, and white-footed jumping mouse. The thin white "webbing' is mycelium, the root-like structure of a fungus.

I never finished posting about the Nature Center (Pool Wildlife Sanctuary) in PA. This is the first of the three murals: a detail section of The Forest Underground. Hopefully they are installed by now - have not heard from them and am going with "no news is good news"!
