Julie Buffalohead
Julie Buffalohead's work has focused thematically upon describing Indian cultural experience through personal metaphor and narrative. Just as frequently as the work has been evocative of animals, anthropomorphism and nature, it has been a critique of the simulacrum of the Old West, and of the prejudicial commercialization of Native culture.
She is a member of the Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma. She has had solo exhibitions at Carleton College, St. Thomas University, St. Johns University, Bockley Gallery in Minneapolis, The Plains Art Museum, and Minnesota Museum of American Art.
Buffalohead (b. 1972) lives and works in St. Paul, MN and is represented by Jessica Silverman in San Francisco, CA.
