Made by Haida artist, Jesse Brillon:
Jesse’s interest in Haida art began when he was a young boy, influenced strongly by his heritage. Jesse’s family presented him with a silver repoussé Shark bracelet by Haida artist Don Yeomans. This gift sparked Jesse’s desire to learn to carve. To start his training, Jesse apprenticed with Don in Vancouver. He then moved to Hazelton to study the art of repoussé with Gitxsan artist Philip Janze. Jesse’s jewelry making skills developed immensely during this time.
Jesse continues to create museum-quality pieces individualized by their fineness, boldness, and depth. Jesse’s works are held in private collections globally and have been exhibited across North America.
