Visual Art – New York - NYC
Blakelee Harmon is an emerging artist based in New York City who has dedicated her life to creating work that bonds human souls. She developed her sense of composition first through dance, exploring movement and stillness, music and silence, light and darkness, giving and taking, boundaries and abandon. Blakelee attended Marymount Manhattan for a bachelor's degree in dance media where she also trained in oil painting and photography. She began using each of these mediums in tandem to explore concepts and inform the finished piece of work, and continues to use this method. Whatever strikes her in her daily routine is recorded and reflected in the chapter of each painting she is working on.
Blakelee believes that if you are truly present, the universe will expose specific messages that will guide each of us to a greater state of awareness. She believes it is each person’s responsibility to develop through constantly evaluating personal circumstances. . By sharing her own evaluation process for each painting, Blakelee hopes to connect with the viewer’s understanding of their personal life experiences and expose the complications of consciousness.
Blakelee’s work has been featured in the Online Art Room Gallery, Artist Portfolio Magazine and was also an artist in the NY State of Mind exhibit at One Art Space Gallery. Currently she is contracted with NYA gallery in an artist booth, and is also exhibiting at 1st Dibs with Gallery 104. With NYA Art Walks and Tribeca Art and Culture Nights in July Blakelee will be preparing new pieces to showcase for the RAW artist event at Melrose Theater on August 14th and also preparing for a solo show in September.
