Nathan has been carving since 2007. He studied design and worked with Kwakwaka'wakw carver, Alfred Robertson. He has also worked with carver and bentwood box maker, Troy Bellrose. Nathan has been exposed to Haisla artwork since he was born and is proud to work in a Haisla style. He is the nephew of celebrated Haisla jewellers Barry and Derek Wilson. While he began carving traditional media and formats, Nathan is interested in creating more unconventional pieces. For example, he carved and painted a full-sized skateboard in 2009.
