Prix de West News
Volume 8, Number 1 - May 2003
 Eight artists will be exhibiting for the first time in the 2003 Prix de West Invitational Exhibition. Each brings a different background and different influences to their paintings and sculptures. Their work represents a great diversity in the field of Western art.
Dwayne Harty
Like a number of Prix de West artists, Harty studied at the Okanagan Game Farm in Penticton, British Columbia and later at the Art Students League in New York.
He has also been influenced by a number of Prix de West artists ~ David Leffel, Harley Brown, Wilson Hurley, Wayne Wolfe and the late John Clymer, Robert Lougheed, Tom Lovell and Paul Strisik.
Wildlife has long been an interest to Harty and he is co-founder of the Academy of Wilderness and Wildlife Art, Canada's finest school dedicated to classical realism in the wilderness and wildlife genre.
