Master carver Wayne Hewson has been carving since 1989. He is a Tsimshian from Metlakatla, a Native community on Annette Island, 17 miles from Ketchikan. In addition to poles, Wayne is an accomplished creator of wooden spoons, bowls, paddles, canes, talking sticks, masks, hats, panels, halibut hooks, transformation masks and box drums. His work is featured in collections throughout the U.S. and at international art centers. He is a recognized story teller, and a participant in traditional Native song and dance performances. Several poles carved by Wayne Hewson are displayed at the Sanctuary.
