Alvin Adkins

Alvin's crest includes the Raven, Bear and Orca. He is a self-taught artist who began carving in 1971 and whose influences include such people as Dempsey Bob, Freda Diesing, Bill Reid, Robert Davidson, and Don Yeomans. He comes from a talented family; both of his brothers, Rick and James, are also established jewelers. Alvin's work is characterized by wide-line design and extremely deep gouging. His work has been exhibited at the Museum of Northern British Columbia and, in 2010, Alvin received a Creative Achievement Award for Aboriginal Art from the Government of British Columbia.
