In 1969, while in Valauris, France, Harvey worked with abstract sculptor, Michael Anasse. Upon returning to the United States, Harvey began his sculptural career first working in fiberglass and then moving on to bronze, 18-22K gold, collages, and granite. Harvey is largely self-taught.
André Harvey has been a professional sculptor since 1970. He is a Fellow and former Board Member of the National Sculpture Society in New York and also professionally associated with the International Sculpture Society in Washington, D.C. and Artist’s Equity in New York.
