G. Harvey grew up in the rugged hills north of San Antonio, Texas. His grandfather was a trail boss at 18 and helped create an American legend. So the American West is not only the artist’s passion but his birthright. Harvey's early interest in sketching and drawing slowly evolved into a passion for painting in oils. G. Harvey attended the University of North Texas and then transferred to University of Texas at Austin. G. Harvey soon realized that weekends and nights at the easel did not satisfy his love of painting. Harvey paints the spirit of America from its western hills and prairies to the commerce of its great cities. He abandoned the security of a full-time job in 1963 and threw his total energy into a fine art career.Two years as a "struggling artist" followed, but 1965 brought acclaim for the artists first prestigious show, The Grand National exhibition in New York, and the American Artists Professional League presented him with their New Masters Award. President Lyndon Johnson discovered his fellow Texans talent, became a Harvey collector and introduced John Connally to the artist’s work Connally was enthusiastic about Harvey's art and, on one occasion, he presented a G. Harvey original to each governor of Mexico's four northern states. Today, G. Harvey lives in Fredericksburg, Texas, with his wife Pat in a 150-year old stone home built by German settlers. His studio and residence are nestled within the Historic District of Fredericksburg Serigraphy utilizes the silk-screen printing process. For each desired color, a stencil is created indicating where the color will be applied. Then the stencil is adhered to a silk or nylon mesh screen, and paint of that color is forced through the screen on to the paper. This process creates a luxurious, vibrant and often-textured image. A serigraph requires a seperate silkscreen for each color of the image. Quality silk screen edition prints contain 50 to 100 seperate screens. During the printing process there is usually a day between applying colors to allow for drying time. A print with 75 color screens would take 75 days. The process is lengthy when quality is desired.
