Harriet is an artist and printmaker who started printmaking as a way to develop themes taken from her daily observational drawings. Often preferring artists’ sketches to finished paintings, she is constantly searching for ways to retain the light spontaneity of sketching but simultaneously evolve her sketchbook work. Drawing primarily from from life she depicts her family and surroundings, daily life, the people she lives and works with, and often herself; she is especially fascinated by how the same subject matter can be repeated again and again, rendering new projects and representations.

 

Working with drypoint, etching and aquatint, she is currently exploring new areas of printmaking and animation using recycled materials, such as tetrapak and scrap perspex. Her prints have recently been displayed with SGFA, ING, Green & Stone, Ironbridge, RBSA, Leamington Spa Museum and the Herbert, Coventry and she was also a contestant on Sky’s Portrait Artist of the Year in 2022. Her work has featured in Artists’ & Illustrators’ Magazine, Contemporary Collage Magazine, the New Cartoonist and Pressing Matters. She was made an associate member of the Society of Women Artists in 2024 and a full member in 2025.
