Simon Louie

Simon Louie is an indigenous artist from Pauquachin First Nation. He took up wood carving after studying with Elliot Jones and Wayne Thomas, gradually developing a style of his own.

​

Working in a traditional Northwest Coast style, primarily in Yellow Cedar, Red Cedar and Pine, his work is notable for the depth of his carved line work and elegant forms.

​

Simon’s large “Circle of Life” is his most ambitious piece to date and is a beautiful expression of the inter-connected nature of the lives of the inhabitants of the environment that his people have occupied for many generations.
