She was born and raised in Toronto\, ON to parents of Nevisian heritage. She attended OCAD University from 1997-2001\, where she Majored in Photography.  Her images have appeared in shows at the Power Plant\, Toronto\, ON; the Scottish National Gallery of Fine Art\, Edinburgh\, Scotland;

With the embellishments removed\, Duck’s subject matter are simple random objects such as kitchen scraps or a greasy pan or common people who have no claim to major positions of power.  The pieces draw upon this history humourously.  Harley Duck is a graduate of the University of Guelph\, where he received a BA in English and Studio Art in 2021\, he is also currently completing a Museum and Gallery Studies Ontario College Graduate Certificate from Georgian College.   \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n OTHER EXHIBITIONS\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n AllExhibition CurrentExhibition PastExhibition Upcoming\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Icons & Alter Egos: Heroes\, Villains\, and Everything In-BetweenExhibition Upcoming \n \n \n \n \n \n Media Arts ShowcaseExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n From Hand to Heirloom: The Art of CraftExhibition Upcoming \n \n \n \n \n \n Face to FaceExhibition Current \n \n \n \n \n \n 29th Annual International Women’s Day Art ShowExhibition Current \n \n \n \n \n \n Made in OrilliaExhibition Current \n \n \n \n \n \n Tradition TransformedExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Yours to Uncover: An Ontario Road Trip | Peter Fyfe and John NottenExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n John Gould: Travels of the Mind and BodyExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Voices Through Time: A Mariposa JourneyExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Tracing Places: Advertising in OrilliaExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Orillia: Then & NowExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n 28th Annual International Women’s Day Art ShowExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n ORILLIA LANDSCAPESExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n THE SEVEN GRANDFATHER TEACHINGS: AT THE ORILLIA RECREATION CENTREExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n A Collection-Inspired Exhibition: Four Seasons in OrilliaExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Gordon Lightfoot: Turning Back the PagesExhibition Current \n \n \n \n \n \n Perspectives Through Their EyesExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Heritage in Hues: Orillia’s Story Through TextilesExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Loup Garou & Mocassins | Nathalie BertinExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Behold a Man Who is a Bean | Harley DuckExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n TRADITION TRANSFORMEDExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n OWL PEN REVISITED | GILLIAN LOWRYExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n TEACHERS AND THEIR ENDURING IMPACT | JOSE SALASExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n INCLUSION: AT THE STACK GALLERYExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n EVERYONE HAS A STORY: TALES OF A COMMUNITYExhibition Current \n \n \n \n \n \n THE PROCESS INFORMS ME | JEANETTE LUCHESEExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n PAWTRAITSExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n REFLECTIONS OF OUR ROOTSExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n BACKRA BLUID | STACEY TYRELLExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n THE TEENAGE ZEITGEIST: At the Stack GalleryExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n SYBILExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n 27TH ANNUAL WOMEN’S DAY INTERNATIONAL ART SHOWExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n REGENT PARK PUBLIC SCHOOL GRADE 6/7 GARDEN DESIGN PROGRAMExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n ROBYN RENNIE: SEEING BEYONDExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Grant’s Legacy: Capturing Orillia’s History on FilmExhibition Current \n \n \n \n \n \n WRITING IN THE ROOM: ORILLIA’S LITERARY LEGACYExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n FRIENDSHIP REDISCOVEREDExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n A COLLECTION INSPIRED EXHIBITION: A CLOSE UP ON CARMICHAELExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n 50 YEARS OF MARIPOSA ARTS THEATREExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n STEEPED IN HISTORYExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n JENNIFER ZARDO: HOME SWEET HOMEExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n TED FULLERTON: THE SERPENT’S EGGExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n TRADITION TRANSFORMEDExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n HOMAGE by Donald StuartExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n ELIZABETH WYN WOODExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n 26TH ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY ART SHOWExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n RENEWAL: At the Stack GalleryExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n BEYOND THE FENCE: Christine Mack and David HillExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n GREAT TAIT: The True Story of Orillia’s First MillionaireExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n THE MACKINAW JACKET: A Canadian Folk CostumeExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n VIEWS OF ORILLIAExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n THE MAN WHO COULD FLY;
