Brian Perry is a S’Klallam artist practicing his traditionally inspired works in both time-honored and contemporary ways and materials. Brian’s work includes everything from drums, rattles and masks to large carved relief panels, totem poles, metal sculptures and Northwest coast canoes.

Brian has studied with some of the most respected names in Pacific Northwest Native style art, and his expertise and talent have been recognized through commissions from entities throughout the region. For 20 years Brian’s art was done as time allowed while working for Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, but in 2014 he took the leap and has made art his full time pursuit.

Brian lives on the north end of the Kitsap Peninsula, surrounded and inspired by the waters of the Salish Sea.
