   Harmony Hammond (February 08 1944 - present) As Harmony Hammond writes in her book, Lesbian Art in America: A Contemporary History, there have always been artists who were lesbian, and lesbians who were artists, but the category “lesbian artist” scarcely existed before 1970. Author, educator, curator, activist, and artist, Hammond’s work deals with issues of self-representation. For information on other lesbian visual artists, see: Judith F. Baca, Claude Cahun, Tee A. Corinne, Louise Fishman, Frida Kahlo, Catherine Opie, Hollis Sigler, Joan Snyder Photograph of Harmony Hammond, by Tanya Hammond, courtesy of the artist.

The information in Clara® is drawn from the materials in NMWA's extensive Archives on Women Artists. 
            
The Clara database is no longer being updated. This database will be retained as an access point for our artist files. Artist profiles are now a featured component on the NMWA website. For artists who are not in our collection: we are in the process of creating a user-submitted registry that will be available by 2015. Thank you for your patience as we create new content to better serve researchers, members, and artists.
