Trevor Angus... Gitksan / WetsuwetenBorn February 19, 1970, Trevor Angus grew up in his hometown of Kispiox, British Columbia. Trevor carved his first plaque in grade four under the instruction of Victor Mowatt. Dan Yunkws was also a teacher during this time.
My name is Tka’ast from the House of Wii minoosik. My given name is Trevor Angus. I am Gitxsan / Wetsuweten born and raised in Kispiox, B.C.
I have been carving for most of my life. I carved my first plaque when I was in grade four under the instruction of Victor Mowatt of Gitanmaax. Victor was my teacher through to high school. I also had Dan Yunkws as a teacher in high school. I also spent a lot of time during high school at Ksan watching the carvers there.
After High School, I was accepted to the Kitanmaax School of Northwest Coast Indian art at Ksan in Hazelton where my instructors were Master Carvers Vernon Stephens and Ken Mowatt. I completed the four year program in 1998 learning to design and carve plaques, ladles, panels, masks, rattles, paddles, and steam bent boxes.
I am on a continuous journey of learning right to date. I am presently doing an apprenticeship under Phillip Janze for engraving gold and silver jewelery.
I have been very fortunate with having great teachers within reach throughout all of the years that I have been carving. I have had the opportunities as well to watch and learn from Master carvers like Earl Muldon and the late Walter Harris. I continue to meet and learn from different artists as well as my teachers from Ksan to this day. It is a long journey to becoming a Master Carver myself; a goal that I have held since I picked up my first set of tools.
I am presently living and carving full time in Vancouver. I am looking to open a studio where I can create all of the pieces that are in my heart and in my mind. I look forward to sharing them with you.
