One of my true passions is my love of Haida and North
West Coast Art. Here are a few of the links to my favorite sites
and places.
I must start with the best. Charles
Edenshaw was the pioneer of classic Quality Haida art. His work
and quality has been duplicated by many.

The M of A has most of the totem poles taken
from the village of Ninstints. The museum has an extensive collection.
I highly recommend a visit. Right now they have an Awsome collection
of Charles Edenshaw artwork. Bill Reid has numerous pieces in the
collection at the museum.
I would love to be able to teach or help Native
student's discover their art heritage. It is my intention to develop a
jewelry program that would allow students to experiment with these art
forms.
