Bio

A resident of Nevada, Jack Malotte is a member of the Owens Valley Paiute-Shoshone Reservation. Malotte is a graduate of the College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, California and uses drawing, painting, and printmaking to convey his feelings about the "Indian connection with the earth and sky and how this connection manifests spiritually, physically, and politically." He is best known for his satirical depictions of traditional Indians in a modern world, but the majority of his work depicts the arid California and Nevada landscape of his ancestors.
