Trevor Angus is a member of the Gitxsan / Wetsuweten Nation. His name is Tka’ast from the House of Wii minoosik. born and raised in Kispiox, British Columbia.
Trevor has been carving for most of his life. "I carved my first plaque when I was in grade four under the instruction of Victor Mowatt of Gitanmaax. I also had Dan Yunkws as a teacher in high school. I also spent a lot of time during high school at Ksan watching the carvers there. After High School, I was accepted to the Kitanmaax School of Northwest Coast Indian art at Ksan in Hazelton where my instructors were Master Carvers Vernon Stephens and Ken Mowatt. I completed the four-year program in 1998 learning to design and carve plaques, ladles, panels, masks, rattles, paddles, and steam bent boxes. I had the opportunity as well to watch and learn from Master carvers like Earl Muldon and the late Walter Harris. I continue to meet and learn from different artists as well as my teachers from Ksan to this day. It is a long journey to becoming a Master Carver myself; a goal that I have held since I picked up my first set of tools"
He is now carving full-time.
