Eugene Isaac was born on March 22, 1958, in Alert Bay - part of the Kwakiutl, or “Kwakwaka’wakw”, Nations of the northeast coast of Vancouver island and the adjacent mainland.  He inherited the family crests of Thunderbird, Sisiutl (double headed sea serpent), and Hok-hok (a long beaked bird monster who is part of the great household in the sky ruled by the chief cannibal spirit).
At 15, Eugene had the opportunity to study under the master Kwakiutl carver Beau Dick, who taught art at the Alert Bay High School.  Much later, he took a carving course in 1994 taught by Wayne Alfred, another renowned Kwakiutl artist.
Today, Eugene’s polished Kwakiutl style brings to life the heritage of a rich culture of the most elaborate potlatch ceremonies of the Pacific northwest - not only to cedar, but also to leather canvas and acrylics.  Eugene worked on three exhibits for Expo ’86 and on a pole in Stanley Park.
