Paddy Seaweed

Paddy Seaweed was born and raised in Alert Bay, British Columbia on the westcoast of Vancouver Island. His mother's family is from the Village Island and his father's family is from Turnour Island.  He is the youngest son in the family.  The family Kwakiutl crest is the Kolus, which is a Baby Thunderbird covered in down. The Kolus is a supernatural bird.  Legend is that the Kolus became overheated by the down and shed it's down revealing a human image being given great strength. 

Paddy was trained in jewelry carving by Lloyd Wadhams.  

He was always interested in drawing, then moved into wood carving and from there, into silver and gold. Paddy's older brothers, Alfred and Norman Seaweed are also well known carvers from the westcoast of Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, Canada.
