Born in Columbia Missouri, Marci Crawford Harnden returns to Houston Texas
where she lived and made her art during 1980's. Harnden exhibited at Houston's
most innovative venues like Diverse Works, The Glassell School, and Lawndale
Art and Performance Center in their formative years, before moving with
her family to Dallas where she now resides, making both visual art and
music.

When I think about my own work, I can sense the influences of abstract
expressionism, action painting, photo realism, impressionism, and the illuminist
figurative movement of 1950's California. It interests me how these
elements in my work contrast with one another and morph into an original
interpretation of the contemporary landscape. My works are peaceful meditations,
reflecting nature’s ability for restoration.

This mixture of ideas
and experimentation, have initiated a sequence of discoveries for
me over the years and led to the range and diversity I seek as an artist
to express my individualism.
