Glenn Harrington, accomplished fine artist and illustrator, is noted for his exquisite, enigmatic portraits of young children but is also internationally known for his paintings of the sport of golf. In 1981, Harrington graduated from Pratt Institute in New York City and quickly began his career in illustration and painting. He and his family now reside in Bucks County, PA.
Harrington’s paintings have been featured on more than 300 book covers, including Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice, and A Room with a View. His portrait of Maria Callas was used for the well-known poster for the TONY award–winning Broadway play “Master Class.”
In the fall of 2000, 40 paintings by Harrington illustrating several plays and sonnets by Shakespeare were published. Harrington also did a series of paintings for a book, Poetry for Young People W.B. Yeats, published by Sterling Publishing this past year.
As the portrait artist for the Golf Hall of Fame in St. Augustine, Florida he recently completed portraits of Ben Prenchaw, Tommy Bolt and Harvey Penick. His most current shows include Figure in American Art held at the Eleanor Ettinger Gallery in New York City, and a Landscape River Series at the Travis Gallery in Pennsylvania, as well as a solo exhibit held at The Wells Gallery in downtown Charleston. Harrington has also been honored with the Silver Medal from the New York Society of Illustrators.
Many South Carolina residents and visitors may be familiar with the beautifully painted Cassique Preview Day of Tom Watson teeing off on the Cassique Golf Course. He is currently working on a mural for the Doonbeg Clubhouse of Greg Norman teeing off on the Doonbeg Golf Course in Ireland.
