Patrick Wesley

Haida Nation

1960 – 2016

Patrick Wesley was born in 1960 and belongs to the Raven Clan from the Haida village of Skidegate.

A self taught artist, Patrick began his art career in 1978 with a focus on painting and producing graphics. As he progressed, he began to explore various mediums such as argillite, silver and gold. His dedication to create traditional Haida art brought him to a forefront among his peers and was noted as one of the top Argillite carvers and goldsmiths in Haida Gwaii.

Staying close to his roots has kept Patrick inspired and grounded. While Patrick enjoyed pushing the boundaries of his development, he stayed true to his cultural heritage paying homage to the clan figures from his family lineage. His pieces can be found in many collections worldwide and his artwork greatly influences the new generation of artists embarking on an art career.
