HARRY WHITEHORSE ART
Sculptor          Painter          Carver

Madison, Wisconsin, USA

"As a child, I was taught that nature has definite patterns and that nature is perfect in what it does. Those lessons defines my approach as a realistic sculptor and painter. I strive for the qualities of attitude, accuracy, and detail within my art works." Harry Whitehorse

In Memory of John Blackdeer


Recently LouAnn Blackdeer approached Harry Whitehorse with a rather unusual commission. Her husband, John Blackdeer, came across a red stone somewhere in New Mexico and started to create a sculpture from the beautiful stone. Sadly, John passed away in an accident in the spring of 2003 before he was able to complete the sculpture. Rather than let the statue stay unfinished, LouAnn asked Harry if he would complete her husband's work which she will then present to the Ho Chunk Nation in memory of John. When Harry first saw the stone, he immediately recognized the shape of the Native American woman that John was in the process of creating before his passing.

Bayview Statue On New Base


Sculptor Harry Whitehorse looks over the statue "We Are One Child Spinning Through Mother Sky" and the recently installed base at the Bayview Foundation in Madison, WI. Bjorn Carlson, a Madison custom wood worker, created a base that enables the statue to be carefully revolved. For more information about "We Are One Child Spinning Through Mother Sky", see the special website that documents the project.
