MontanaHistoricalSociety

Montana State University professor Dr. Mary Murphy details the story of Montana artist Elizabeth Davey Lochrie. From her home on Butte’s West Side, Lochrie crafted a life as artist, mother, clubwoman, and ally to Montana’s native peoples. A Western painter in the tradition of Charlie Russell, Lochrie is best known for her portraits of Native Americans, but she was a prolific artist who also painted landscapes of urban Butte and rural Montana.
