The inspiration for Indian Art’s Pendants comes from his experience with the ancient ceremonies of indigenous people. As a youth and novice in the culture of the Anishinabe, Art saw the pendants made from available materials such as copper, bone, and beaded decorations worn by Elders, to reflect the beauty of the natural world and the colours of contemporary life. They became the inspiration for his work and his designs today.

Art has wide experience with intertribal indigenous customs and practices—from woodlands to the coastal tribes, as well as the great North. He has always admired the creativity and resourcefulness that the participants of the various ceremonies and pow wow dancers exhibited in creating their paraphernalia. Animals, birds, mythical beings, memories of visions and dreams, and stories of a bygone era, as well as the blending of the past, future and present, became fused in their decorations. Each Indian Art Shofley Pendant is unique. The artistic experience, rooted deep in the Aboriginal Community and often incorporating elements of the history and mythology of other cultures, from Celtic to African, as a reminder of his vision of the interconnections of all life on Mother Earth.

I am a Coast Salish graphic artist, originally from Seabird Island. My design work varies and includes Coast Salish elements and references to pop culture. I get my artistic hands into a bit of everything : designs for apparel companies, Indigenous business logos and branding, posters/flyers, memorial designs, and digital work (vectoring) for other artists. Every design has a story. I want to share the beauty of our culture through art.

My father painted, and often spent time illustrating how necessary these bold symbols and colors were to our people. My mother spent so many nights writing poetry, memoirs, and essays to convey how loved my siblings and I were, and that we had a tough journey ahead, but that our traditions and the lessons we received would carry us through. Storytelling through visual art. I believe that’s the beauty of lineage, that it’s in my blood, to keep moving forward and keep creating. I want to contribute and make spaces for the next generation of artists. It’s such a privilege to share my work with everyone.

I have made it my life’s work to create art that echoes the past of the First Nations folk of British Columbia. I was born and raised on the west coast of Vancouver Island in the remote village of Yuquot, and was inspired to start carving by my uncle – the late Chief Dominic Andrew. I am self-taught, but also received formal training from the Gitanmaax School of Northwest Coast Indian Art at ‘Ksan in Old Hazelton, BC. Throughout the years I have proudly participated in many events and noteworthy organizations including:

Bill Reid Gallery
The Canadian Coast Guard
The Canucks for Kids Fund
Sanyi International Wood Sculpture Festival, Taiwan
Wilp Si-Satxw Healing Centre, Kitwanga BC

I divide my time each year between Hope and Yuquot, carving hand-made quality items using natural materials. My work is traditional, and crafted by time-honoured methods.

• Masks • Paddles • Totem Poles • Doors • Bent Boxes • Plaques & Murals •Sculptures • Talking Sticks & Canes • And much more!
