Harold Alfred

Country/Region: Northwest Coast (view other artists from Northwest Coast)

Tribe: Kwakwaka'wakw

Harold (Jackson) Alfred was born at Alert Bay, B.C. and is a member of the Kwakwaka'wakw (formerly Kwakiutl) Nation. He was born into the Namgis tribe located on north-eastern Vancouver Island. Harold observes the high standards set by the past masters and applies the same standards of quality and workmanship which are true to the Kwakwaka'wakw art form. Growing up in Alert Bay, constantly surrounded by the arts, one could not help but be influenced by the designs, carvings and poles created by the great masters of the past. As a result, Harold creates outstanding work that has a contemporary feel with a strong sense of the past while exploring new and exciting mediums.
