Note:
Eugene Isaac studied under the master Kwakwaka’wakw carver Beau Dick, who taught art at the Alert Bay High School. Many years later, he took a carving course in 1994 taught by Wayne Alfred, another renowned artist from Alert Bay.
Isaac worked on three exhibits for Expo '86 and on a 40-foot totem pole for Stanley Park. Isaac draws inspiration and is influenced by Willie Seaweed, Charlie James, Mungo Martin, Bob Harris, Andy Beans, Doug Cranmer, Wayne Alfred, and Beau Dick.
