Harvey T. Dunn (1884 - 1952) was a famous painter from Manchester, South Dakota.

He is best known for his prairie-intimate masterpiece, The Prairie is My Garden. In this painting, a mother and her son and daughter are out gathering flowers from the quintessential prairie of the Great Plains.

Dunn was educated at the Chicago Institute of Art and later taught in New York at the Grand Central School of Art and the Art Students League.

The South Dakota Art Musuem in Brookings, South Dakota houses approximately ninety of Dunn's best works.

Dunn died in New York at the age of 68.
