Hilary Harkness
1971–

Introduction

Hilary Harkness (born 1971) is an American artist. Her paintings frequently depict surreal worlds inhabited solely by women. She often portrays her female subjects as miniaturized figures set within complexly arranged mechanical or military environments, usually engaged in erotic, violent, or sado-masochistic scenarios. Her work has thus been considered Queer art.
