An enrolled member of the Susanville Indian Rancheria, LaMarr’s politically motivated art includes murals, dioramas, sculptures, and installations in addition to prints.Description
Northern Paiute/Achomawi artist Jean LaMarr has worked primarily as a printmaker, using it as a tool for political art. In this work, part of her Cover Girl series, she refers to exploitative nineteenth-century photographs of half-dressed Native American women, adorning them with clothing, jewelry, and basketry to reclaim the women’s dignity and respect.- {{cite web|title=Untitled (cover girl)|url=false|author=Jean LaMarr, Brandywine Workshop, Philadelphia, PA|year=1989|access-date=24 December 2025|publisher=Cleveland Museum of Art}}
