He is an enrolled member of t he Apsáalooke nation. The dream to pursue art evolved somewhere between th e hills and valleys of the Busby flats and the Kirby high lines. Below the Big Horns and near the land of the Morning Star. Carlin was destined to s hine at an early age. Mostly self-taught and inspired by the local native artists before him. Those who strived and prospered to be great but couldn 't escape the harsh reality around them. These examples of failure taught him the patience\, persistence and most important of all perseverance\, to overcome the struggles within the reservation. Many of those that inspire d often became victims of their own existence\, succumbing to the stereoty pes placed upon them. Thru this many lost their love\, their lives\, their passion to dream and Carlin's art embodies the essence of what they left behind. This is the path and determination that pushes Carlin to greatness \, to live this dream for those who never made it. Picking up the pieces o f fallen friends and family members. Guided by their spirits and strengths to embark on a journey left unfulfilled. Carlin is putting his whole Nort hern Cheyenne and Crow nation on his back and chasing this dream for every one of them and they all know that.\n\nMONICA GILLES-BRINGSYELLOW\nMonica Gilles-Brings Yellow is an Indigenous artist who grew up on the Flathead I ndian Reservation\, but is now based out of Missoula\, MT.
