Roy Harris is a gentleman, a
scholar and a sculptor to presidents and kings, but he introduces himself as "just
an ol' cowboy." That may be because Roy "cowboyed" all over the
West for nearly 50 years. After growing up in northern Idaho, Harris put himself
through college by roughing out a string of colts each summer. During theKorean
War, he served as a horse trooper with a reconnaissance squadron in the
Bavarian Alps. After he earned a B.S. in animal science at Utah State
Agriculture College, he worked as a cow boss on a ranch in eastern Arizona. In
1954, after earning a M.S. from Utah State University, Roy joined the faculty
of California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo. A doctorate in
animal genetics and physiology was completed in 1970 at Utah State. His work as
a research scientist and geneticist earned both national and international
recognition.
He is included as a Biographer in Who's Who in Frontier Science & Technology (15' and 2nd Ad), and Who s Who in the World (7", 8"l and 9t ed).
Roy's life long interest in "range critters" and western life grew Into a remarkableskill for beautiful, hauntingly real sculptures. Roy's work shows his passion for precision and perfect proportions. His sculptures are technically and structurally correct with natural composition. The pieces display emotional expression and spiritual understanding, and very often, a cowboy's sense of humor. True to life.
During his tenure as a professor, Dr. Harris was commissioned to create a life size bronze sculpture of a mustang for Cal Poly.The mustang is located in the courtyard between the administration building and the studelat union. In 1984, Roy was commissioned by Idaho's Sun Valley Resort to sculpt two life size figures of skiers. He was also commissioned by the Prince of Spain for a sculpture of hill champion Arabian mare, Abha Hamir. Pieces from these special editions are included In the private collection of former presidents /Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan. Roy's work was also part of the Professional Rodeo Association 1980 display at the Cowboy I fall of Fame in Oklahoma.
Movement and emotion show in every piece that Roy sculpts. As a contemporary artist he specialized in what he knows...The West.
