Harmony Hammond is an artist, writer, and curator. A leading figure in the development of the feminist art movement in New York in the early 1970s, she attended the University of Minnesota from 1963–67, before moving to New York in 1969. She was a co-founder of A.I.R., which, in 1972, became the first major women's co-operative art gallery in New York during the second wave feminist period, and Heresies: A Feminist Publication on Art & Politics (1976). Since 1984, Hammond has lived and worked in northern New Mexico, teaching at the University of Arizona, Tucson, from 1989–2006. Hammond’s earliest feminist work combined gender politics with post-minimal concerns of materials and process, frequently occupying a space between painting and sculpture. 

Her large scale near monochrome paintings were included in the 2024 Whitney Biennial, and in 2025 Site Santa Fe presented a survey of her paintings from the last ten years. Her work is represented by Alexander Gray Associates, NY where she recently had a solo exhibition "Rust Never Sleeps".
