William Barr
William Barr is a descendant of the Kwakiutl people of the Nimpkish Band in Alert Bay, B.C. His great grandfather was Chief Joe Harris. William grew up in Alert Bay, his trade was fishing but he gave it up to become a full-time artist. Much of William's inspiration comes from his years of fishing, surrounded by the beauty and inspiration of the West Coast. His work reflects this beauty with its distinct yet traditional style.
