About the Artist
Brian Perry is a S’Klallam artist practicing his traditionally inspired works in both time-honored and contemporary ways and materials. Brian’s work includes everything from drums, rattles and masks to large carved relief panels, totem poles, metal sculptures, cast glass, and Northwest coast canoes.
Brian has studied with some of the most respected names in Pacific Northwest Native style art, and his expertise and talent have been recognized through commissions from entities throughout the region. For 20 years Brian’s art was done as time allowed while working for Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, but in 2014 he took the leap and has made art his full time pursuit.
Brian has worked for the Stillaguamish Tribe as artist-in-residence since 2019, but he has also made time to teach classes as a visiting artist and also looks forward to taking on challenging commission pieces.
