Young Harriet Hyams, the Artist
Harriet Hyams in 2017 pointing at an old picture
showing her working at MoMa to sculpt
marble with her teacher, Lorrie Goulet, behind
her giving criticism. Harriet took classes at the
Museum for several years and later became a
successful artist. When asked about the moment
when she decided to become an artist,
Harriet simply said, “It happened.” While she
was taking MoMA classes, art and life were
inseparable. (Adapted from an article by Sarah
Torres, MoMa.)
Annie Gerard's Pet Peeve:
Woods Road is a
popular place for dog-walking, and unfortunately,
some visitors have not been following
local laws and neighborhood etiquette regarding
cleanup of wastes. Wherever you walk,
PLEASE be aware of where your dog is leaving
their poop; clean it up and dispose of it
properly. To do otherwise is not only unneighborly
but illegal.
