Artist	Harrison Martin
Nation	Nisga'a / Tsimshian Nations
Description	Born in March of 2003, Harrison Martin has shown incredible passion for his heritage and the arts at a young age. Being from Nisga’a and Tsimshian descent, Harrison has taken lessons from Nisga’a Artist such as Mike Dangeli and observing cultural celebrations like Hobiyee – the Nisga’a New Year – and attending Kwakwaka’wakw Potlatches in Alert Bay which were held by Chief Rande Cook and Chief William Cook, all of which inspired his personal practice which can be seen reflected in his own individual style. He began his carving practice early, when his grandfather had given a set of tools to him in high school and since then, continues to design and paint using traditional and contemporary designs. In 2021, Harrison was one of seven emerging artists awarded the YVR Art Foundation’s Emerging Artist Scholarship. Since then, he has been apprenticing at the Leaf Modern Gallery in Victoria under MFA, Rande Cook, gaining significant knowledge and encouragement to becoming more confident in his carving and painting techniques. His technique is a unique combination of both contemporary and traditional design that echoes his Nisga’a and Tsimshian heritage. Since that time, he has apprenticed under Moy Sutherland and continues to work and apprentice with Rande Cook while developing his own career.
