HARVEY RATTEY - is a Native
American enrolled tribal member
of the Little Shell Band of the
Chippewa. He and his three
sisters and a brother were
raised on a cattle ranch
bordering the Assiniboin
reservation near Harlem, MT.
During the past 35 years, his
love of the cowboy and of
wildlife has inspired him to
sculpt both subjects with "wild
and wooly" action and empathy.
However, his greatest interest
lies in portraying the Indian
people he has known and their
way of life spanning the time of
the last nomadic Indians to
contemporary Indian people in
the mainstream of modern
society.
Harvey
has chosen to portray his ancestors
and the people he knows in a
representational art form foregoing
the growing trend toward
abstraction. "The images of my
people," he says with conviction
"are clear and realistic mental
scenes. I feel it's important to
depict these images authentically in
my work. My sculptures capture the
essence of moments from history for
viewers to enjoy and ponder." He
resides in Glendive, MT with his
wife, Pamela Harr, who is also a
sculptor and their 6 children.
