Thank you to the Steel family! Last week, Mike Steel, the son of Len and Betty Steel, generously donated this beautiful print to the Museum on behalf of his parents. This print was presented to Len Steel in 1978 when he was the Mill Manager at Canadian Cellulose, on the completion of the new Kraft Mill there. It was created by the Gitksan artist, Robert Jackson, whose son, the Tsimshian artist, Ron Jackson, has since carried on his father’s legacy. Robert Jackson began carving wood in 1966 and went on to work in gold, ivory and silkscreening. His work is prized by collectors in North America, Europe and Japan. Among the owners of his carvings were one of the Prime Ministers of Canada and the Duke of Edinburgh.
