Grant Pauls Pendant Canoe

Grant Pauls, is a Tahltan/Tlingit artist, who began his lourney by helping other artists come up with unique concepts to their own art. With a growing passion in traditional and unique west coast

Grant believes that art is an expression of Culture, History and Present, knowing and believing this, he can acknowledge the influences he has had from Elders and his own family. Without those influences in his life, Grant believes it would have been

difficult to create something that has either meaning o r a purpose. From this belief, Grant credit's his Mother "Mildred" and Father "Jack" for making him the man that he is today, a man with Integrity,

" look at art as having a purpose, to tell a story passed down from generation to generation through our elders or known as "Dena nenn Sogga neh ine" (Protectors or Keepers of the Land), elders who have proven their worth and deserve our utmost respect"!
