Native Paintings

The Origin of Native Paintings

Traditionally Pacific Northwest Coast Native Paintings and Designs are often featured on carved objects such as paddles, panels, clothing, hats, canoes, long houses, bentwood boxes and other native carvings.

Native American Paintings Today

Many native paintings today are done on canvas and paper. These paintings often represent stories and myths, spiritual creatures and animals as well as a mixture of realism, contemporary interpretations and West Coast Native American Indian designs. The following native paintings are mainly inspired by Haida and Kwakiutl or Kwakwaka'wakw traditions.
