Bernard C. Harmon (1935 - 1989) was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Although little is known about his childhood years, we know he was an aspiring artist as a teenager, studied at the Philadelphia Museum School (BFA), the Tyler School of Art, Temple University (MFA), and later travelled extensively throughout Europe and South America. Harmon was primarily a gifted portrait painter and a well loved teacher in the Philadelphia area, he taught in the Philadelphia School District for 32 of his 54 years of life.
