Lionel Ke:niioherase

He began his art career in the graphic arts media as a designer for silk screening. In 1978, he opened his own silk screen shop (The Print Factory of Canada Reg'd.) in Kahnawake and has since diversified into a family business (Native American Products Reg'd.) specializing in a variety of authentic native crafts. Lionels' primary goal is to create designs, which stem from his native heritage and culture, and to transform these onto textiles such as T-shirts, sweat shirts, tote bags, aprons and other printable items.
