Kenish Harmon

Kenish Harmon (formally known as Magwood) is a high-functioning introvert (or ambivert if you will). A little quirky, she aims to address identity, diversity, and controversy with vibrant artistry and open-dialogue. Kenish strives to use the many gifts God has given her to promote change, initiate conversation, and ultimately, to please Him.

She was born in Stuttgart, Germany to military parents. She is the youngest of three. She holds a BA in Studio Art from Claflin University (Orangeburg, SC) and an MFA in Fine Art from Howard University (Washington, DC). She taught art at Baptist Hill Middle/High School in Charleston, SC for 3 years. She then taught for another 4 years as an art professor at Morgan State University in Baltimore, MD. After a short teaching hiatus, she has returned to art education. She currently lives in her hometown of Charleston, SC with her husband, Jay, their adopted cat, Simba and their chihuahua puppy, Arya.

In her free time, she enjoys cooking, board/party games, pole fitness, reading & audio books, writing, making comics and relaxing with her friends and family (love you, Mom & Dad!).
