Neil Harpe is a painter and a printmaker.  He approaches his work through a variety of media, including watercolor, graphite drawing, mylar lithography and intaglio printmaking.  Born in Annapolis, Maryland in 1946, his first foray into art was the release of a series of original lithographs of the Chesapeake Bay.  Today, his works cover a wide range of subject matter,  including landscapes, marine subjects, figures, portraits, and music subjects.  An accomplished blues musician in his own right, Harpe has both a "Blues Singer" series and "Guitar Portraits" series.

Harpe's works are found in a large number of private and corporate collections, including the U.S. Naval Academy and the U.S. State Department.  carmen's  has represented Neil Harpe since that day, about 20 years ago, when Neil's parents walked into the gallery and announced that their son was an artist.  And on that occasion...they were absolutely right!
