Beautifully carved yellow cedar First Nations Owl Wall Panel, featuring wonderfully laconic eyes, measures 19 x 7.5 x .75 and is priced at $495. The eyes are highlighted in gray on the lids, the rest of the owl is painted with traditional red and black.

The artist (1973-2021) was a member of the Coast Salish First Nation, originating from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada’s Pacific Northwest Coast. He passed away at a tragically young age. He is terribly missed by his family, by his community, and by collectors of his work all over the world. 

He is part of a large family of well known artists. His pieces are easily recognizable in the very clean and detailed carving, and powerful use of traditional colors.

The Native Owl Symbol represents a bird of wisdom and intuition, magic and prophecy. Owls are often seen as messengers. Some healers call upon the Owl for insight into the truth of ill-intent. Some First Nations believed that the sound of the Owl was a call to summon the spirit world.
