POVA IN THE NEWS: NewsChannel5 - Homeless Nashville artist creates original leather-work, accessories and designs

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — It's hard not to notice Ean Greer.

"I stick out. I can't help it," he said, "Everything that I make is something that people wore liek thousands of years ago."

Leather backpack, satchel and shoes. He makes his way around the city, wearing clothing and accessories he makes -- by hand.

"I started doing this for me because I wanted moccasins," he said.

Every stitch, every design.

"People kept telling me I was an artist. I never thought of myself as an artist. I just like to make stuff," he said.

Ean works out of East Nashville non-profit Poverty And The Arts (POVA), a professional studio that gives artists like Greer a place to work.
