Artist Information 

Varvara Harmon was born and raised in Volzshk, a small Russian city of 100,000 people located in the central European portion of Russia.  She began painting in her childhood and was a student at the Volzshk Art School, where she graduated with a Diploma in Art Studies. Varvara's career goals briefly turned from the arts towards the earth sciences when be began working as a geologist in some ofRussia’s most spectacular wildernesses.  It was during this time that Varvara returned to painting landscapes.  While inRussia, Varvara participated in many regional art exhibitions and also had the honor of being the first artist ever to put on a solo exhibition at the Museum of V. Lenin in the City of Kazan, Russia. 

Varvara emigrated from Russia to the United States in 2001 when she moved to Maine. New England, especially Maine, is a place whose lands, inland waters, coast and people have inspired many of her recent paintings. While the majority of these works are done with oil, she also creates with acrylic, watercolors and pencil. Although landscapes are still her favorite subject, Varvara also does still-life paintings as well as portraits.
