👉 Join us for the opening celebration on February 12th from 6 – 8 pm at the Gallery, artist will be in attendance! This exhibition is a retrospective of Terrence Campbell's work. It celebrates his extraordinary jewelry work, showcasing his artistry across the full span of his career—from his early beginnings to his current creations. Terrence's silver jewelry combines traditional Northwest Coast and Southwestern design, offering a distinctive and innovative perspective in each piece.
Born in 1956 in Prince Rupert, BC, Terrence Campbell is an artist from the Wolf clan of the Tahltan Nation, with family roots in Telegraph Creek, BC. His Tahltan name, Eth-Cath-Kee, means "Teacher of the Children." He began designing and painting at fifteen and later shifted his focus to wood carving at the age of 22. Under the guidance of Tahltan/Tlingit master carver Dempsey Bob and his sister, master carver Dale Campbell, Terrence honed his craft. In 1982, he collaborated with Haida artist Alvin Adkins and Dale to carve a 30-foot totem pole, which stands beside the Museum of Northern British Columbia in Prince Rupert. In 1991, he and Dale carved another pole, presented as a gift to the people of Hong Kong through Prime Minister Brian Mulroney during Festival Canada '91.
