Harold T. Holden, Sculpture and Artist. Harold T. Holden, or "H" as he is called by many, was born in Enid, Oklahoma.

He then began his art career in the commercial art field, eventually taking the position of art director at Horseman Magazine. After a tour of duty with the Navy in the Vietnam War, Holden returned to the United States to begin a full time career as a professional artist.
