Haida artist Ernest Swanson is known for his creativity as he digs deep for design inspiration. Ernest has apprenticed with top Haida artists, inclu-ding Chief Jim Hart, Christian White and Jim McGuire, and is a descendent of famed Haida carvers from the past, Charles Edenshaw and Rufus Moody.
Ernest works between mediums of metal jewellery, visual art, argillite, wood and totem pole carving. Each design concept is new and unique.
