Harriet participated as the most prominent artist in the First Annual Bay Area Erotic Art Festival in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1982.

Surviving Depression

At some time in her life, Harriet suffered from severe depression and received treatment. During that time, she created drawings that reflect on her state of mind during those struggling years. Some might find these drawings interesting in the context of an artist dealing with and overcoming that debilitating mental condition.
