Modern  Formline

Since October of 2006 I have been focused on developing my ancestor’s roots in artistry and refining myself as I merge my academic architectural vocation with my innate creativity. Together, mixed with my passion for detail, this marriage has come alive into what I define as 'Modern Formline'. Every creation begins as a vision, followed by a sketch; the piece merges into its personality and is then digitally mastered, painted or engraved.

My late grandfather, Teddy Brown, belonged to both Killer whale (Tsimshian) and Eagle (Haida) clans. Recently I was adopted into the Raven (Haida) clan through my mother.

As an apprentice to Jordan Seward, I have been studying traditional Haida form and formline. I’ve graduated from the Northwest Coast Jewellery Arts Program (2011), taught by Dan Wallace.

With their traditional knowledge and my vision, I compliment my rich culture, allowing me to reach a new audience with 'Modern Formline'.
