Dempsey Bob is a distinguished Tahltan and Tlingit artist of the Wolf Clan. Born in 1948, he began carving in 1969 under the tutelage of Freda Diesing who was his earliest mentor and teacher. At once a traditionalist and vanguard, Dempsey Bob’s works blend traditional narratives with contemporary influences as he re-imagines convention with highly animated creations that acknowledge the lineage to which they are indebted while incorporating an expansive view and understanding of sculpture.
