Regnar (Reggie) Greenstone Jr. is a Navajo silversmith of the Kinyaa'aanii - Towering House People Clan. He has been an Arizona native all his life, he is originally from Cow Springs, Arizona on the Navajo Reservation and currently lives and works in Phoenix, Arizona. He describes his personal silversmith style, as a statement of old and new Navajo culture, transcribed on to silver in his own language of spiritual traditional stamping.
Navajo, traditional, vintage, intricate stamp work, and fine stones on silver are all powerful accents of his artwork. Greenstone has been a silversmith and stamp maker since 2016, and attributes the beauty of his artwork to all the blessings in his life. He was given his first unexpected blessing of silversmith and stamp making lessons by his good friend, teacher and fellow artist Fred Sellers. The artist learned after his first lesson he came from a three generation family of silversmiths. He engaged himself into the art to show thankfulness for the destined blessing and he is now a fourth generation silversmith.
Greenstone's artwork has never gone unnoticed, since first grade he began selling drawings for coins. Throughout grade school he experience with different mediums of art, entering student art shows and selling his art. He shared his love of the art by teaching his wife Sherry and daughter silversmithing. He enjoys showing and selling his silversmith artwork back home on the reservation, across The United States, and international. The artist has been continuously juried into the two prestigious Native American art shows, 2020-2024 Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market, 2020-2024 Santa Fe Indian Market. Museum art shows also attended by Greenstone are the annual Pueblo Grande Museum Indian Market 2022-2024, The Autry Museum Indian Market 2023-2024, and The Prescott Sharlot Hall Museum Indian Art Market 2023.
