TERI GREEVES

Portrait

The exquisite nature of Native American artistic traditions is expertly displayed in Teri Greeves’ award winning beadwork.  Her refined use of traditional materials and techniques combined with the influence of contemporary culture make her work exceptional.  She combines the past and present to express the native experience in modern society. 

 

Teri Greeves is a Kiowa Indian but was raised on the Shoshone and Northern Arapaho Wind River Reservation in Wyoming.  As a little girl Teri would sit in her mother’s store and enjoy all of the intricately beaded objects that were on sale.  At eight years old she began to bead.  The women in her family and the other bead workers on the reservation taught her the traditional stitches and always offered suggestions for improving her skills.  Beadwork in native culture is a custom that celebrates heritage with exceptional beauty.  Teri has expanded this art form to include the native experiences of today with those of the past.  Admirably, she stays true to traditional roots while also incorporating her modern perspective.
