Artist Statement

We were taught the beauty of nature which surrounded us in all its riches and try to capture some of this beauty in all our artwork.

Harold continues the Kwakwaka’wakw tradition of creating bold and innovative artwork based on the fundamentals of Northwest Coast design which in itself is constantly changing and evolving. Creating in the tradition of his forefathers, Harold creates in a style that is distinctively his own.

Besides learning the fundamentals and principles of Northwest Coast design, he has learned the importance of setting high standards in all endeavors.
