Lyle J. Omeasoo, a subtle, but profound individual, was born on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana.  He is of the Blackfeet and Cree tribes.  Lyle is married and has 5 children.  His wife encourages him to keep painting and pursue a career as an artist.  His children inspire him to paint and to be a good role model.

Lyle creates meticulous artwork of culturally respected and spiritual dwellings, characters and tipi designs.  Lyle expresses, "What motivates me is the challenge of being able to paint the subject."  The pride he has for the Blackfeet people is depicted in his art.  Lyle utilizes what is available to him, and that is his culture, history and the land of his people, the Blackfeet.

He shares his art skills with others in his local school system and in the community.  Besides art, he also encourages the youth through cross country running.  Because of his caring attitude, he works well with people.  Lyle's art is visible throughout the Blackfeet Reservation, in many public and tribal facilities.  His finished logos include the Town of Browning and Siyeh Corporation.

Mr. Omeasoo was a 2000 First People's Fund Artist Fellowship Recipient and has attended and contributed to galleries and exhibitions in Hobbema, Alberta, Great Falls, Montana, and Sioux Falls, South Dakota as well as closer to home in Cut Bank and the Blackfeet Heritage Center & Art Gallery in Browning, Montana.
