Raised within the potlatch system and trained by his father Simon Dick James, he carved his first mask at the age of 13 and has since developed a practice that bridges contemporary expression with ancestral Kwakwaka’wakw traditions. His experience as a dancer, including performing the Raven Transformation dance, gives his work a rare functional understanding of masks as living cultural objects rather than purely decorative forms. Quinn James’s carvings are an excellent choice for collectors seeking authentic Indigenous artwork that carries forward generational knowledge, cultural integrity, and evolving contemporary design.\u003cem data-start=\"525\" data-end=\"543\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"525\" data-end=\"543\"\u003eMax’inuxw (Orca)\u003c\/em\u003e reflects this balance of tradition and innovation—honoring Kwakwaka’wakw protocols and cultural stories while presenting a striking modern interpretation of one of the coast’s most iconic creatures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quinn James","offers":[{"title":"26.5 X 26.5 in.","offer_id":48684031410399,"sku":"QJ010","price":3400.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4584\/2586\/files\/ChatGPT_Image_Mar_26_2026_12_59_12_PM_copy.jpg?v=1774560587"},{"product_id":"killer-whale-sisiutl-wolf-totem-pole-ep007","title":"KILLER WHALE, SISIUTL \u0026 WOLF TOTEM","description":"\u003cdiv data-olk-copy-source=\"MailCompose\"\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MailCompose\"\u003eA rising star of Northwest Coastal artwork, Ernest Puglas’ creates cedar carving in the Kwakwaka’wakw traditions, which emphasize bold, flowing form line design (curved lines, shaping faces, animals, and beings).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-olk-copy-source=\"MailCompose\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MailCompose\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-olk-copy-source=\"MailCompose\"\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MailCompose\"\u003eEach piece incorporates layered figures with symbolic imagery tied to ancestry, clan crests, and oral histories.
