Randy Stiglitz

Randy’s family moved to the Capilano Indian Reserve at the age of eight and he began carving at the age of fifteen under the guidance of local artists. He later moved to Victoria for four years, learning the Kwakwaka'wakw and Coast Salish styles, and working with wood carvers at Thunderbird Park. 

In 2007, Randy took part in the 'Sharing Myths' exhibition at the Ohio Cultural Center. Randy credits Henry Hunt Sr. as being the single biggest influence in his unique carving style. Though he is most known for his mask carving, he also makes panels, bowls and boxes. Randy has now been carving for 38 years and is a highly regarded Coast Salish artist.
