Stan Wamiss

Stan Wamiss - First Nations Artist

Born in 1951 Kingcome Inlet Stan learned to carve from his father Tom Patch Wamiss who was not only a master carver himself but was also the highest ranking chief in Kingcome Inlet. Tom Patch Wamiss was the first chief in the Kwagiulth nation to hold a Potlatch after the ban was lifted in 1952. Even though potlatches were banned, many of the native people carried on holding then in secrecy.

Stan works in the traditional Kwakiutl style and carves Masks, Rattles, Totems, Feast Dishes, and Paddles. His style is a very close to Willy Seaweed who Stan considers Willy to be his inspiration and mentor. Some of Stan's work was featured in the 1988 Vancouver Art Gallery exhibition.

Down from the Shimmering Sky, an exhibit that has been displayed at a number of selected galleries across North America. He also has work in the Vancouver International Airport.
