This is Harvey Pratt - Master Native American Indian Artist & Leading Forensic Artists in the United States

On this episode I chatted with 2021 Oklahoma Hall of Fame inductee Harvey Pratt. Listen in as we talk about his incredible career as an artist and how he found his passion as a young child.

From El Reno, Harvey Pratt is a self-taught artist who works in oil, watercolor, metal, clay, and wood. His works include themes of Native American history and tradition and the Cheyenne people. A self-taught Oklahoma artist and Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribal Member, Pratt was selected to create the Smithsonian’s National Native American Veterans Memorial for the National Museum of the American Indian. Unveiled in 2020, “Warriors’ Circle of Honor” brings together 573 federally recognized tribes and is the only monument or memorial by an Oklahoman on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
