Kevin Red Star was born on the Crow Reservation in 1943 in Lodge Grass, Montana. The third oldest in a family of nine children, he grew up in a family that valued music, art, and culture. His parents' interest in the arts helped foster his early love for drawing and art - his mother, Amy Bright Wings, is well known for her fine beadwork, and his father was a passionate musician. In 1962, during his second year of high school, Kevin Red Star was selected to attend the newly created Institute of American Indian Art (IAIA) In Santa Fe, New Mexico. There he was exposed to the history and cultures of many North American Indian nations, and it was while he was a student in Santa Fe that he began his deep and abiding study of and appreciation for his native Crow culture.



In 1965 while attending the San Francisco Art Institute following his studies at IAIA, Red Star was exposed to the political and social energies of contemporary, post-modern art. This experience led him to many experiments in his art, including incorporating mixed media and collage, and he began exploring painting in new ways, pushing the boundaries of traditional portraiture and composition. He also studied art at Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana, and at Eastern Montana College in Billings. In 1971, the Museum of the Plains Indian in Browning, Montana, offered him his first one-person exhibition. less
