Pamela Harr’s Biography

Pam & Popi Oct 1st 2010 (Squash & Swiss Chard)

PAMELA HARR – Graduate of Oregon State University in General Science and the University of Iowa in Physical Therapy. After her first husband Gerry Harr was killed in Viet Nam in 1971 she became a sculptor out of an interest that grew from her work with handicapped children. Her sculptures consist primarily of pioneer women and children and religious themes as well as a series of historical carrousel horses. She has also authored articles for several publications and is active as a fund raiser and works as an artist in residence. She resides is Glendive, MT with her husband, Harvey Rattey and 6 children.

Pamela has recently sculpted the life-sized bugler and flag-draped casket for the Northeast Montana Veterans Memorial at Fort Peck, Montana.  This video is Pamela being interviewed about the Memorial sculptures by Dorothy Sturlaugson of KXGN TV.
