Brian McKee

Brian McKee was born of the Wolf Clan in Prince Rupert, B.C. He showed an interest in art work at an early age. Brian has carved ceremonial paddles for the First Nations Education Centre of School District 82, in Terrace, B.C. He has designed and painted four large panels that represent the Tsimshian Crests: Raven, Wolf, Killer Whale and Eagle. Brian has also assisted with six crest totem poles that were raised at Kitselas Canyon.

“I have enjoyed being in this class with such young and mature artists. To see their enthusiasm and hard work inspires me to do my best; and it’s a joy that native art will be around for many years to come.”
