The Artist
Pat Kuper started
painting in 1996 as mainly a self taught artist. She works in pastel,
colored pencil and oil. The Pastel Society of America has
recognized Pat as a Signature member in March 2007.
Pat's passion is
painting Native Americans, old Western buildings and wagons, as well
as wildlife and landscapes. As a professional artist, she began,
and continues to do, commissions of people's pets.
She won Best of Show

Owl Woman of the Blackfeet Tribe. Her next Best of Show award was for
the pastel painting of Red Elk, a Lakota Sioux warrior, at the Cody
