C.M. Russell Museum Store Trunk Show
Featuring Jackie Larson Bread | Wednesday, March 15–Sunday, March 19, 2017
Jackie Larson Bread is an enrolled member of the Blackfeet Nation. She was born and raised on the Blackfeet Reservation in northern Montana. The backdrop of the stunning Rocky Mountains and a culture so deep and rich are the inspiration for her award winning art.
Jackie attended the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She studied painting/printmaking and developed illusionary pictorial beadwork, where pictorial depth is created by using graduated shades of beads. This detailed style of beadwork is the focus of her work. Traditional plains ledger art and its vibrant color and stylized depictions, as well as delicate Blackfeet orals and bold Blackfeet geometric designs comprise the remainder of her beaded art. Images are hand drawn and are composed into intricately beaded bags, boxes, and other traditional utilitarian items.
Jackie lives in Great Falls, Montana. Her art is housed in many permanent and private collections, including the Smithsonian Institution Museum of the American Indian, Washington, D.C., the C.M. Russell Museum, Great Falls, MT and the Museum of Art and Design, New York, NY. Jackie was the 2016 recipient of Native American Art Magazine’s award of excellence.
