(Welcome)
David Robert Boxley is the son of world-renowned carver and culture bearer, David Albert Boxley. At six years old, David Robert began carving under the instruction of his father. Around this same time he also began to travel around the United States to assist his father in raising totem poles and teaching people about Tsimshian culture. From a very young age David Robert was passionate and proud of his culture. As an adult, the love and respect he has for his culture is expressed through both his two-dimensional and three-dimensional art.
