Hayden Hays Gallery

Biography

Deriving a strong background of artistic craftsmanship from his Italian heritage, he portrays through sculpture the character and spiritual essence of the people and animals of his chosen homeland. Greeves says his mission in any sculpture is to tell a story, to communicate what he holds important. He says, "In my work, I'm just trying in my meager way to bridge this civilization with ones that come after us." Self taught as an artist, he first painted historic documentary-style scenes of Indian life. Then he turned to sculpture. Although his favorite subject is the Indian, he also depicts the trapper, trader, and cowboy of bygone eras.
