Tribal Affiliation: Coast Salish Nation, Birthplace: North Vancouver, B.C., Birth date: 1961. Darren Yelton began carving with his father and two brothers Jim and Tony at the age of thirteen...

After completion of his high school education, Darren began carving full-time exclusively in wood and studied under Marvin Dana Baker, Floyd Joseph and Jacob Lewis all from the Squamish Indian Band. The following year he assumed the duties as a totem pole carver in the Thunderbird Park Carving program. In 1986, Darren resigned to begin a new career as a freelance artist.

Darren has developed his own unique West Coast style, incorporating images of animals that come from family crests and legends common to the Coast Salish Community. These stories and myths have been his inspiration throughout his years of carving. Darren Yelton has been influenced by many well-known artists and strives to achieve the utmost quality in his work. His contemporary style is refined, uncomplicated, and dimensional with a northern influence. Darren’s pieces are sought- after by many international collectors of Northwest Coast Native Artwork.
