Karena “Kidd” Graves is a mixed media sculptor from Greensboro, NC. Their current work is based on their family’s belief in fish dreams.

My work is heavily influenced by my relationships with my late grandmothers, my ancestors, or my ‘Kindred’ as I call them.

I am a storyteller from rural Minnesota, who made an unusual entrance into this craft. My children’s participation in a traditional Native American ceremony required me to make blankets as a part of their spiritual offering, and the process was very spiritual for me.
