In 2015, she and her sister, Teri Greeves were honored as Living Treasures by the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Her mother, a member of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma with Comanche heritage, ran the trading post at Fort Washakie for nearly thirty years.
[2][3] She and her older sister, Teri grew up on the Eastern Shoshone, rather than the Northern Arapaho part of Wind River Reservation and were strongly influenced by their parents.
[5] She also saw her mother market Native American goods to try to bring them to a wider audience and learned to identify the characteristics of quality work.
For example, on a study trip in 2000 to Indonesia, she worked on a series featuring a crumbling wall in Bali, rather than painting the lush surroundings of the island.
Another piece, more traditional, which she created for the Heard Museum is a buckskin-lined silver handbag, decorated with gold and diamond stars to represent the Kiowa Big Dipper legend.
[14] Though gold is one of her favorite mediums, she also works with silver and platinum combining metals with gemstones, buffalo horn, buckskin[15] or porcupine quills.
[15] She is interested in mixing materials that combines elements "we as indigenous people hold valuable (elk teeth, buffalo, feathers, etc.)
[17] Another piece from the Mommy's Series featured the painted likeness of her namesake and an interpretation of the clan fetish in the shape of a turtle Carrie Susie had made at Greeve's birth.
In conjunction with Robin Waynee (Saginaw Chippewa), in 2011 they created an insect-themed earrings-ring-necklace set which was donated to the gala auction to benefit the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts (SWAIA).
The mixed media set, which used beads, buckskin, diamonds, fresh water pearls, antique glass, gold and indigenous wampum, was purchased for the permanent collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
