James Byrnes, who painted as J. Michael Standing Bear, a Canadian-Sioux and Laguna Pueblo American Indian, was born 25 December 1933, and died in Albuquerque, New Mexico on 14 May 1998. He is especially well known for his depictions of kachinas--deified ancestral spirits in Pueblo culture. Standing Bear has had one-man shows at the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona, the Museum of the American Indian Heye Foundation in New York City, the Chicago Field Museum, and the Museum of New Mexico Fine Arts Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His paintings have won numerous awards in competitive shows and hang in all the major collections of Indian Art.
