Tyrone Joseph

Tyrone Joseph was born in 1951 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He is a member of the Coast Salish Tribe of the Squamish Nation, Capilano Reserve. Tyrone is one of eight creative brothers and, as a result, was inspired to begin carving before 10 years old under the influence of his family and the elders in the community. Tyrone is a self-taught accomplished artist whose attention to detail and traditional style are evident in each piece he creates. He uses red and yellow cedar as his medium to carve plaques, drums, paddles, totem poles, masks and sculptures. Tyrone incorporates many family crest symbols into to his works in the hope to protect his cultural history for upcoming generations.
