Steve Smith
Kwakwaka'wakw Oweekeno village from Campbell River,
In 1988, at the age of 20, Steve was introduced to carving and painting by his father Harris Smith-Lalkawilas. After a lengthy apprenticeship, Steve branched out on his own. He has since developed his own innovative and distinct style of carved and painted works which utilize traditional forms in a contemporary fashion.
Steve and his family presently reside in Vancouver, BC. Even though the fast pace of city life can be hectic, Steve finds solace through in art. He feels fortunate to share his life with his wife, Jenny, and his daughter Rachel. Both are a constant inspiration to his work and in his daily life.
Steve signs work with Dla'Kwagila, which means, "Made to be copper."
