Stella Nall, also known by her Apsáalooke (Crow) name, Bisháakinnesh, is a multidisciplinary
artist who draws inspiration from a combination of Montana wildlife and her imagination to
create sweet, vibrantly colored, whimsical creatures which tell a story. A First Descendant of the
Crow tribe, her work often engages with current issues pertaining to Indigenous identity,
visibility and representation; while also inviting connection from people of all backgrounds by
discussing ubiquitous human experiences such as love, loss, joy and grief. The Montana State Parks Foundation commissioned Stella to create an original Bison design, symbolic of the animal's deep meaning to Montanans and it's importance to the prairie ecosystem of our newest state park at Judith Landing.

Stella graduated from the University of Montana in 2020 with a BFA in Printmaking, a BA in
Psychology and a minor in Art History and Criticism. She is a represented artist with Radius
Gallery. Her work may also be seen as murals across Montana, and has been acquired to national
permanent collections at Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian (Washington,
DC), The Institute of American Indian Arts Museum of Contemporary Native Arts (Santa Fe,
NM), The Montana Museum of Art and Culture (Missoula, MT).
