In Memoriam – Gerry Marks

1949-2020

Accomplished Haida artist Gerry Marks passed away recently on March 27th at the age of 70 due to a heart attack.  He was inspirational to many contemporary artists such as Robert Davidson, Rick Adkins, Jay Simeon, and Landon Gunn to name just a few.

His exceptionally refined carving, flowing form lines and highly abstracted designs were easily recognizable and placed him amongst the higher echelon of First Nations jewelry designers.
