The artist of that poster is 22-year-old Lexi Hilderman, who submitted her artwork through the Youth Poster Competition program, which was launched three years ago.
A release from the Calgary stampede notes that Hilderman had been inspired by an image of a Siksika First Nation woman named Katari Righthand.
