Lawrence Scow (Kwak'waka'wakw)

Laurence Scow was born in 1958 at Fort Rupert which is near Port Hardy, British Columbia.  He is a member of the Kwak'waka'wakw Nation.

Although he was born into a long line of carvers, Laurence did not start carving until later in life. He began carving in 1985, inspired by the work of Bill Wilson and Larry Hunt.  He comes from a long line of artists.

His attention to detail and elegant lines makes each piece a complete work of art. He carves Bent Boxes, Paddles, Plaques, Panels, Totems Poles and Talking sticks.  His use of vibrant colours makes his work easily recognizable.
