Terrance Guardipee
Terrance Guardipee is an internationally
acclaimed Blackfeet painter and ledger artist,
consistently recognized for the traditional
depiction of his Blackfeet heritage and
contemporary innovation demonstrated in his
work. Terrance was one of the first Native
artists to revive the historical ledger art
tradition, and was the first ledger artist to
transform the style from the single page custom
into his signature map collage concept. The
leading institutions in the Native art community
consistently acknowledge Terrance’s innovative
incorporation of authentic Blackfeet images into
his own contemporary form of ledger art. As the
lead feature artist at Fall for Glacier,
Terrance will be showing and discussing his art
throughout the weekend |

from Italy to China and Portugal to Glacier Park
