Kevin Red Star is a Native American artist from Montana who paints powerful images of his Crow (Apsáalooke) people, their horses, and their homelands.

Kevin Red Star was born in 1943 and grew up in Lodge Grass, on the Crow Reservation in southern Montana, in a very creative family where drawing, beadwork, music, and traditional stories were part of everyday life. Teachers often asked him to make posters and decorations for school events, and in the early 1960s he was chosen for the very first class at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he studied Native traditions and modern art, then continued his training at the San Francisco Art Institute. His paintings and prints use strong colors, shapes, and symbols to show Crow chiefs, dancers, tipis, horses, and sacred landscapes, so he is sometimes called a "visual historian" of the Crow Nation. Today Kevin Red Star lives and works in Montana, and his art is displayed in museums and collections across the United States and around the world.
