Hummingbird "Rose Loving"

Jason Harris, an accomplished Stz'uminus carver, cultivated his passion for the traditional craft from his late father. “I grew up in Stz’uminus and became interested in carving through my late father,” reads Hariss’ artist bio on the town website. “He carved all his life and we did a carving course together in Cowichan in 2003 with the late master carver Simon Charlie. My interest in carving slowly grew over the years, but I never thought I would live off my art. I did carving work on and off and my art became my passion as more people started ordering carvings. I’ve made a lot of different kinds of traditional art our people use and am starting to show interest in designing and learning to paint.” Jason is well-known for his large yellow cedar hummingbird plaque at the Nanaimo Airport, along with many other creative works and design achievements.
