BIOGRAPHY:
Harriet was born on September 11, 1921 to Otto and Isabelle McKinnell Williams in Elko and lived in Nevada most of her life. She met her future husband, John Uhalde, at University of Nevada where both were in Chemistry together. He invited her to a Lambda Chi dance and the romance began. They married
when he was home on leave and she followed him to Army bases and they finally settled in Reno after the War.
Harriet spent time being a Girl Scout leader, heading Pi Beta Phi events (a legacy that was shared by her daughters and granddaughters), reading, cooking, knitting, hunting, gardening and P.E.O. She accompanied her husband to many rural mines in the western states and hiked and explored with him.
When her two daughters went off to college, she took up oil painting which led to her signature style of painting with a palette knife. She perfected her technique by studying with local and visiting artists and by studying books. She was a long time member of the Artist's Co-Op and her paintings are enjoyed
by many.
She enjoyed photographing all the wonderful Nevada landscapes and painted them with colors and clouds that are unparalleled. Her art radiated the same peaceful nature as Harriet. Her husband was trained to stop and take the appropriate pictures and adored her art.
They traveled to many States in the U.S. and abroad where she took more photos many of which were the inspiration for her paintings. She enjoyed sharing her talent teaching others her "palette knife technique", including her granddaughters and great granddaughter.
