Harmony Hodges is a self taught artist who lives in Portland Oregon. She enjoys anything creative, including writing, acrylic painting, mixed media collage, and designing assemblage boxes. She describes herself as having an "obsession with surface ornamentation", and is never far from a hot glue gun. She loves to put texture in her paintings and finds that a salvaged piece of old wood with all of its imperfections makes a terrific canvas. You can see more of her work at artbyharmony.webs.com.
