Gino Seward
Gino was born in 1972 in Nanaimo, Vancouver Island. His father was Coast Salish and his mother is of the Kwakiutl Nation. Gino became involved in art at age 11 and was taug...ht by his Salish grandfather and by the Kwakiutl master carvers Jackson Robertson and William Robertson. Gino's favourite subjects are animal wall plaques, free standing carvings, and totems carved from red and yellow cedar. Today he himself is considered an established carver and has two young apprentices, Bubby Pugles and Sammy Seward, who are keen to preserve the artistic traditions of their ancestors.
