Steve Smith originates from Oweekeno Village and Campbell River, BC. In 1988, Steve was introduced to carving and painting by his late father, Harris Smith – Lalkawilas. Their collaborative effort produced unique sculptures in basswood, yellow cedar and
alder.
After his lengthy apprenticeship, Steve branched out in his own producing a very distinct style of carved works utilizing traditional forms in a contemporary fashion. This young artist displays a rare talent in his works which are finely
finished and exhibit a craftsmanship of the highest quality. He now also collaborates on designs with artist, Sabina Hill.
Steve Smith signs his work Dla’kwagila which means “Made to be Copper”. Each piece is finished with beeswax and can be
cared for with a soft, dry cloth.
Artist Statement:
“In creating art, I try to work with the positive and negative space. The two are inseparable and, together with the right balance, can create a sense of harmony.”
