After teaching in Hampshire, Devon and Cornwall secondary schools and at Plymouth College of Art, he retired in 1996 and set up a studio in Stoke Climsland.

Harvey shared exhibitions with his father at Camel Art Society, Wadebridge, and daughter Catherine Harvey-Jefferson at Theatre Royal, Plymouth.
