Harris has called herself a “true northerner,” attracted to “the beauty of ice and snow.” For Harris, “the light on the prairie is special,” its reflective properties affecting both colour and pattern. Weaving was also important to textile arts in the Scandinavia of her childhood.Harris has been lauded with numerous awards, including five Merit Awards, and four Premier’s Prizes in recognition of her textile works. She has also been awarded numerous merit awards from the Handweavers’ Guild of America.
