Floyd Edwards is a renowned Coast Salish artist celebrated for his distinctive and traditional carvings. Born in Chemainus and raised the Penelakut Reserve near Kuper Island, British Columbia, Edwards began his carving journey in 1996 and has since become a highly respected teacher and elder in his community. His artistry seamlessly weaves personal creativity with the time-honored principles of Coast Salish, resulting in an impressive array of designs that vividly capture the wildlife of the Northwest Coast. Crafted from yellow cedar, his works stand as both captivating expressions of art and vital efforts to preserve and honor the cultural of the Coast Salish people.

It is a beautiful piece intricately carved from yellow cedar, adorned with bright red paint, capturing the vibrant essence of the red snapper, a striking fish found in the waters of the Salish Sea.
