Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Kehala Greene Smith

I create all my artwork using materials from the land and animals showcasing how Indigenous peoples use every part and leave nothing to waste. I use porcupine quills, deer hide, deer hair , tigers eye and , animal fur from rabbit fur to mink fur. Show casing all the beautiful things our creator has made for us and make it wearable art. I specialize in porcupine quillwork, saw tooth pattern/weaving and sewings , Tuscarora raised beadwork and flat work, along with deer hair tufting and animal fur or hair dangles.
