Meet Wayne Wilson!
According to artist Wayne Wilson, the Haida Gwaii islands have a special mysticism and magic about them. That magic makes the islands the perfect location to find inspiration if you happen to be an artist. Wayne was born and raised here and proclaims that there is no place else on earth that he would rather live or work. “It’s home,” says Wayne. “I love my life here. It’s perfect!”
Wayne has been refining his carving skills for more than four decades. He developed an interest in metal carving early in life and did an apprenticeship under notable Haida carver Gordon Cross. He has since become a recognized aboriginal artist in BC. His popular images of ravens, eagles, the sun and moon; and other natural subjects have become sought-after pieces. Most of these pieces are wearable art in the form of jewellery.
Wayne feels a deep affinity for nature, particularly the water. The ocean is a creative muse for him, and one of his favourite things to do is to get out on the water. Wayne has a generous heart and also spends a great deal of time volunteering within the community.
