Cultural Background: Haida/Metis/Ojibway
For the past twenty years, Del has been creating Haida artwork. He enjoys teaching others about the meanings that are central to the beliefs of the Haida Nation. Del’s artistic motivation comes from the teachings of his ancestors; therefore, his own personal visions and experiences are expressed through his love for painting and carving.
Says the artist, “I create paintings because it helps to free my spirit.”
