Kwakwaka'wakw artist Kevin Cranmer (b. 1968) was born in Alert Bay, BC, but has lived all but four years of his life in Victoria. As a small boy, Cranmer watched his father and other artists at work in Tony Hunt’s original Arts of the Raven Gallery. His first formal instruction came in 1980, under the tutelage of George Hunt Jr. About a year later, Cranmer approached master carver, Tony Hunt Sr., to further his understanding of traditional Kwakwaka'wakw design.
