At that time, I decided I needed to change the direction of my life. This is when I started learning about my family from Haida Gwaii. I researched Haida art and learned the basic forms. Then I started playing with designs and developed my own style. That style has evolved and continues to evolve the more I create new work. I have tried to stay true to the traditional Haida style and have for the most part, but I feel that to grow as an artist I must be open to change. As I continue on my new path, I try new things and learn more about tradition and this is reflected in my work.  I’m mainly a self taught artist but I was also taught for a short time by George Hunt Jr. at S J Willis Secondary back in the early 1980’s.  I hope you enjoy my designs and follow my journey of discovery in the world of Haida art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"spirit-of-canada-lon-french","title":"\"Spirit of Canada\" - Lon French","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan color=\"#ff0000\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/8772\/files\/maple_leaf_small.png?1180\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#cc0000\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMade in Canada\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Spirit of Canada\"\u003cspan\u003e print is double matted with white mats.
