Measures approx 19.25" x 4" to 6. Herman has always been surrounded in the rich cultural heritage of his birth. Affiliated with the Coast Salish nation, he learned traditional woodcarving from his nephew, Glenn Edwards of Vancouver Island. Most noted for his red and yellow cedar wood plaques, Herman has established a refined and sophisticated personal carving style incorporating his original Northwest Coast Native designs representing either eagle, raven, killer whale, wolf or bear into his work.
His work is precise and displays the bright rich color combinations that are characteristic of the art his people. His work can be found in galleries throughout Washington and British Columbia. Herman's son, David, has apprenticed with him to learn the stylized techniques developed by Herman with the intent that he will continue the family tradition.
