at 4 p.m.

Here is your chance to ask me everything you want to know about my work, my motivations, and my process! Send in your questions now or participate in the Q&A after the talk!
— Holli Harmon

Harmon previously exhibited at the Wildling Museum as part of The River’s Journey in 2018 and on July 31st, she opens a new exhibition at Santa Barbara's Sullivan Goss Gallery featuring her most recent body of work, Califia, referencing the mythical female warrior who became the state of California’s namesake.

Layers of regional flora, fauna, and culture make their way throughout Harmon’s work, as she explores California landscapes and subject matter, often using the female figure as a storyteller through her vivid compositions.

“My work revolves around human experiences that are connection points between different cultures and generations set in iconic California imagery,” says Harmon. “My paintings are material records of these places and people.”

We'll talk to Harmon about her artistic process and enjoy an up-close look at her many different techniques, including monoprinting, oil painting, mixed media, and more.

Please note that our live presentation is limited to the first 100 registrants. A recording of the presentation will be available following the event.

Please email info@wildlingmuseum.org or call (805) 686-8315 with any questions.
