Biography
André Harvey graduated from the University of Virginia in 1963. In 1969, after working both as a journalist and an educator, he and his wife, Bobbie quit their jobs in search of a life change and traveled through Europe and Morocco. During this period, Harvey met and worked with abstract sculptor Michel Anasse, in Vallauris, France, which resulted in his focus on sculpture as a career.
Once back in the U.S., Harvey began creating small and large-scale realistic sculptures inspired by his childhood growing up in rural Pocopson, near Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. Harvey′s first high-profile exposure was the exhibition of five sculptures for the five windows at Tiffany & Company, New York. Since that time, in a career spanning over four decades, Harvey has produced an extensive volume of work which has been purchased by numerous public and private collections, and has been featured in exhibitions both nationally and internationally.
He is a Fellow and former Board Member of the National Sculpture Society, New York. Harvey received the National Sculpture Society′s Joel Meissner Award and the Tallix Foundry Award.
