Cultural Background: Métis, Duncan, BC

Derek Thomas is a Métis artist who was born in 1982 in Duncan, B.C. Being raised in the Valley surrounded by the culture of the Coast Salish people, he was drawn at a young age not to his Métis heritage, that he was unfamiliar with, but to the art and culture of his environment. Mostly self-taught, he started carving in 2005, and was inspired to paint shortly after by his Coast Salish uncle Richard Johnson. Thomas is a versatile artist who creates two and three dimensional designs he has defined his expressions of traditional art forms and expanded on them by creating modern pieces with unique color schemes. Thomas credits his growth as an artist to private art collectors who have supported him, most notably – Frank Weyman. Thomas’ work is collected worldwide.
