Harriet's Art Exhibition, an annual event for art lovers, opened on Friday for the third consecutive year at Aquarius in Jumeira Beach Plaza.

Harriet Buxton's paintings, done mainly on silk, have a local flavour and a charming quality that is quite uncommon. A lot of artists from abroad who live and work here have a local flavour in their art, but none do it as easily as Harriet.

The best part, though, is that her art is not very expensive. "I don't like being pricey about my art," says Harriet. "There is no use if your art is not affordable. A piece of art that has a 'touch me not' price tag is only admired and left there. I want my customers to be able to afford the purchase."

Harriet has a loyal following of customers and her paintings and prints are collected worldwide.
The same venue also boasts of a furniture exhibition that opened two weeks ago. Both exhibitions are open until November 24.
