John Demmert
was born in Petersburg, Alaska.
As a young Tlingit and Haida Native, he started carving figures
out of his grandfather's firewood.
It didn't take long for him to discover his artistic talents.
His endeavors carried on through high school where he met master carvers
Richard Peck
and Walter Bennett who both inspired him to strive for excellence.
John brings out the colors and designs with crisp lines
that define his intensely detailed carvings.
He uses colorful acrylic paint to bring the pieces
to life in a contemporary, yet traditional style. .
All designs are original, trot out by the mind of the artist.
No two pieces are alike.
