Sam Harmon is a visual artist based in Syracuse, NY working across sculpture, video, performance, and drawing. She creates moments and worlds where humor and darkness, beauty and brutality, and control and powerlessness dance in familiar yet strange landscapes.

She centers good girls, bad girls, sad girls, mothers, exploring the experience and performance of womanhood and motherhood, creating works that are both acts and illustrations of survival. She draws from classical archetypes, daydreams, mythology, Catholic iconography, feminist film history, literature, and most of all, play.  She received a BFA from Syracuse University and an MFA/MA from SUNY Purchase College.

She received a B.F.A. from Syracuse University and an M.F.A./M.A. from SUNY Purchase College.
