Grant Pauls, is a Tahltan/Tlingit artist, who began his journey by helping other artists come up with unique concepts to their own art.  With a growing passion in traditional and unique west coast native art he began focusing his concepts into his own art design. Along the path of becoming an artist he was heavily influenced by other artists who were either close personal friends or family members and they include; Mark Preston, Terrance Campbell, Dempsey Bob and along with other masters.  

Grant believes that art is an expression of Culture, History and Present, knowing and believing this, he can acknowledge the influences he has had from Elders and his own family. Without those influences in his life, Grant believes it would have been difficult to create something that has either meaning or a purpose.  From this belief, Grant credit's his Mother "Mildred" and Father "Jack" for making him the man that he is today, a man with Integrity, Honour and Respect. 

"I look at art as having a purpose, to tell a story passed down from generation to generation through our elders or known as “Dena nenn Sogga neh ‘ine” (Protectors or Keepers of the Land), elders who have proven their worth and deserve our utmost respect"!
