Barbara Van Cleve (born in 1935), is an American photographer best known for her depictions of contemporary western ranch life, which have been featured in 92 group shows and 52 one-person shows.[1] A fifth-generation ranch woman, Van Cleve was born and raised as one of four children on the eastern slopes of the Crazy Mountains near Big Timber, Montana.[2] Her parents, Barbara and the late Paul “Spike” Van Cleve (died in 1982) are a part of a long family history of raising fine cattle and horses, and running a respected dude ranch in the west, the Lazy K Bar, which has been in her family since the 1880s.[1][3]
