Authentic, West Coast, Indigenous Art: Wolf Earrings

  • Designed by Mark Preston

    Mark Preston (Tenna-Tsa-Teh) is of Tlingit and Irish ancestry and presently resides in the Yukon. He studied silver carving with well known master jeweler and carver Phil Janze (Gitskan Nation). Preston cites Mark Rothko and Jack Bush as influences in his more recent paintings and artworks which transcend the traditional Tlingit Native art form and move him closer into the abstract and contemporary realm.

  • The Wolf Symbol in Indigenous Art

    The Wolf is respected for its strength, agility, intelligence and capacity for devotion. Northwest Coast people celebrate the Wolf as an excellent communicator. Wolf and Killer Whale are known as intimate relations, exhibiting similar colourings, pack behaviours and hunting abilities.
