A native of rural Roundup in Musselshell County in central [[Montana]], Milkovich was the fourth of six children of Mark Milkovich, Sr. (born 1922), a [[World War II]] veteran and financial analyst, and the former Lura Belle Pearson (1927-2020), an educator turned western artist. Lura's father Charles Warner Pearson was also an artist and a friend of Charles Marion Russell. Her mother, John Milkovich's grandmother, Mary Cusick Pearson, was reportedly the first white woman to traverse the Lewis and Clark Caverns and as a court reporter introduced [[Mike Mansfield]] to the movers and shakers in Montana when the Democrat Mansfield was running for [[U.S. Senator]]. Although Lura Milkovich studied at the [[Art Institute of Chicago]], she was mostly self-taught in her paintings. She concentrated on Native Americans and [[cowboy]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/shreveporttimes/obituary.aspx?n=lura-belle-pearson-milkovich&pid=195103031|title=Lura Milkovikch obituary|publisher=''The Shreveport Times''|date=January 20, 2020|accessdate=January 21, 2020}}</ref>
