Harwood was born at Belstead near Ipswich and moved with her family to East Bergholt while still a young child.[2] A botched medical operation left Harwood partially paralysed on her right-hand side and ended her ambition to be a professional pianist.[3] Turning to art, rather than music, Harwood enrolled in the Slade School of Fine Art in London prior to the start of World War I.[2] In 1937 she studied at the East Anglian School of Printing and Drawing in Dedham run by Cedric Morris. Harwood remained with the School when it re-located to Benton End at Hadleigh in 1940 and was associated with the School in various roles for many years.[2]
Working with her left hand only, Harwood created still-life and landscape paintings of Suffolk, in particular of the area around her home at Upper Layham but also of other parts of Britain and abroad.[2][4] Harwood generally painted with a vivid, colour palette and described herself as a Post-Impressionist.[4] A retrospective exhibition of her work was held at The Minories art centre in Colchester in 1975 and further shows followed at Sally Hunter Fine Art.[3][2] Both the Ipswich Museum and the Colchester Art Society hold examples of her work.[2]
