Painter
Leonard “Lenny” Harmon comes from a long line of artists and craftsmen, marshalling inspiration from his ancestors and Tribe, but is primarily self-taught. He has always been involved in creative endeavors – celebrating his culture through traditional crafts and dance. Born in 1983 in Philadelphia, PA, growing up in Delaware and Washington, D.C. Leonard was influenced by his Uncle, Leonard A. Harmon – an artist in his own right with paintings in private collections and the Heard Museum – and has developed a contemporary style of mixed media, showcasing a convergence of cultural traditions and contemporary social justice.
Lenny’s creativity is diverse, expressed in pow-wow as a Men’s Traditional Woodlands style pow-wow dancer in addition to being a member of The Bronx Boys Rocking Crew celebrating break dancing style.
