Some recent group exhibitions include ‘Papillon’ at Daston Den, (2023) ‘OFFPRINT’ at the Tate Modern (2024) and ‘RIPOSTE dinner party rave’ at Electrowerkz (2024). She was also shortlisted for the Cass Art prize in 2024.

Harriet was born in, and lives in Gravesend, which provides her with a strong passion for the growing art community in the town. Harriet owns HYPERMEDIA events along with fellow Gravesend artist Joseph Cleary, and puts on monthly open performance events in Fourth Portal, Gravesend. These events include live music, experimental sound, visual performance, poetry, discussion etc, and bring a crowd of performers an audience from all over London and Kent.

Harriets’ work involves sculpture, performance and video, usually containing a spillage of bright colours, animals, food, bugs and made up characters to depict themes of surrealism, chaos, hierarchy, class, nostalgia, consumption and neurodivergence.
