Raymond Shaw

Raymond Shaw was born in 1982 in Campbell River, BC. He is a member of the Wei Wai Kum band of the Kwakwaka’wakw nation.

A self-taught artist, Raymond began carving and drawing at a very early age. Having an interest in his native heritage, Raymond found inspiration from museums, books, the late Willie Seaweed, and other artists within his community. After many years of carving, he began working under the keen eyes of renowned carvers Tom Hunt and Gordon Dick.
