Her home reflects her artistic talents
Mrs. Harrison sits in front of her red and brown tile fireplace on which stand remembrances of Jamaica My treasurers I can't throw away So this is where I plan to stay Until death does turn me to dust and ash And tears me from my precious trash — MRS. HAZEL HARRISON By ANA MARIA ALVAREZ Staff Writer She lives in one of the oldest homes in Coral Gables and in it she keeps what she calls her beautiful "precious trash." The home of Mrs. Hazel Harrison, long-time Gableite, artist and poet, is like a gallery depicting her life — a life of adventure and travel.

Furnishing the dining area are neo-classical pieces that were bought nearly 40 years ago. A dark wood table, chairs, old-fashioned china cabinet, server and commode make up the pieces of the dining set. Mixed with the colorful fruit paintings are Mrs. Harrison's portraits of Jamacian natives done in their native land.
