Harry Underwood (born 1969) is an American painter known for his use of stenciled images and literary elements executed on wood panels.

However, unlike most folk artists, his paintings are carefully planned, often taking months of ideation prior to their execution.

[3] Underwood first started painting in the early 2000s while working as a flooring installer and house painter in Nashville.

His first major solo show was titled "A Pictorial History of Wishful Thinking" and hosted by the Estel Gallery in Nashville in 2007.

I wasn’t aware of artists like Darger or Edward Hopper until I was meeting people at my shows and they began telling me I reminded them of all that.
