Ivan Thomas Bio
Ivan Thomas is a young North West Coast First Nations artist known for
his intricate carving work on sterling silver and gold jewellery. Ivan
is a Nuu-chah-nulth native, born in the Tseshaht First Nation territory
in Port Alberni, on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
After graduating in 1992, Ivan moved to Vancouver. Since childhood, Ivan
has been surrounded by North West Coast First Nations art, by carving
tools and by carvers. His mother, an art gallery owner, and several notable
carvers made it easy for Ivan to realize his dream to become a carver
himself.
By observing the work of, and learning directly from, several carvers
and artist, Ivan has developed his own interpretation of the magical
world of animals, mythical creatures and beautiful forms typical of the
region’s First Nations art. Ivan studied under master carver Derek
Wilson and has been influenced by several others, including Ron Hamilton,
Art Thompson and Bill Reid.
With the imagination of a true artist, Ivan continues to push the limits
of what can be done, and he works constantly at creating new methods
and new ways of expressing both the traditional and the contemporary.
Rogue Wave Glassworks is proud to reproduce Ivan’s work in the
glass medium.
