Jeremy Humpherville

Jeremy is an aboriginal artist, born and raised in Haida Gwaii, on the Northwest Coast of British Columbia, to an aboriginal father and European mother. Jeremy has inherited his artistic talents through several generations of his father's family. From the age of merely two years old, Jeremy's entertainment was a pencil and paper. As a youth he did not spend his time watching television, but was encouraged to draw. He was not expected to become a career artist, but was constantly challenged to pursue his creative abilities by his artistic father, Keith Humpherville. 

Jeremy grew up in a community rich in talent and culture. As a young boy he would watch renowned Native artist, Bill Reid, carving in the local museum. The many forms and techniques passed on through generations of Northwest Coast native art provide a basis for limitless combinations of design. Respecting these design elements, Jeremy adds his own distinct style to the art.

From a young age Jeremy developed a great appreciation for his natural surroundings. The diverse wildlife and breathtaking scenery of Haida Gwaii are evident in his art. 

Jeremy's work has been displayed throughout Europe as well as in shows and galleries in North America. Jeremy had the fortune of being the art sponsor for the President William J. Clinton Gala fund raiser in support of British Columbia's Children's Hospital Foundation.
