Garner Moody

Master Carver Garner Moody began carving at a young age and his talent and skill quickly became evident among his peers. He was mentored by a number of Haida artists throughout his career, including Alfred Collinson, Rufus Moody, Giitsxaa, Nelson Cross, Ding (Melvin) Hutchingson and Bill Reid.

Garner has worked with a variety of mediums over the years, including wood, argillite, gold and silver. Garner has developed his own distinct style and his work is collected by national and international collectors.

One of his most notable and culturally significant works is the Ts’aahl pole, one of a series of six, which currently stands at the Haida Heritage Centre in Skidegate. Garner currently lives and works on Haida Gwaii.
