The Harveys had one son, Antony James, and one daughter, Diana.
Edmund Arthur Harvey, also known as E.A. Harvey or Harvey (20 February 1907 – 23 May 1994) was an Australian artist.
Known for his portraits and landscape art, he also taught painting, most notably at the National Art School in Sydney.
In a career spanning 67 years, Harvey's works were shown in numerous exhibitions, and made among others, the collections of the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery.
Edmund Arthur Harvey was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, United Kingdom, on 20 February 1907, son of Arthur James Harvey and Margaret Harvey née Nicholson.
His only sibling, younger brother Wilfred, died in infancy.
Harvey migrated with his parents to Australia in 1909, but was sent back to Europe for studies at the age of eighteen.
His parents returned to England for the duration of World War I, as his father was an engineer and worked in Southampton in a naval wartime position.
They returned to Australia in about 1918, after the war.
Harvey began his art studies in 1922 at the age of fifteen years, at evening classes in drawing under Henry Gibbons at East Sydney Technical College (ESTC) in Sydney.
That same year he commenced full-time art studies with Julian Ashton at the Sydney Art School.
In 1925, at the age of eighteen, he was sent to Paris, where he became a full-time student at the Académie Julian, and also took evening classes at Académie Colarossi de la Grande Chaumière.
In 1926 he studied in Florence, the Academia Della Bella Arte in Rome, and at the Chelsea Polytechnic in London.

In 1933 he assisted Norman Carter in preparing cartoons for stained-glass windows called Sheep Country, and two murals for the former Rural Bank building in Martin Place, Sydney; the building was later demolished, but the murals were removed by the conservation staff of the Art Gallery of NSW.
When Edmund Harvey held his first exhibition in Melbourne in 1934, Arthur Streeton hailed him as 'a clever young painter from Sydney.' Harvey had made his debut at the Macquarie Galleries only the year before.
Harvey developed a successful private practice.
His landscape paintings were traditional in style, and mainly depicted scenes in rural New South Wales.
Although Harvey was better known for his landscapes, he also executed numerous still life studies throughout his career.
