Maynard Johnny Jr. was born April 4th, 1973 in Campbell River, BC. He is of Kwakwaka’wakw and Coast Salish descent, inheriting a unique blend of cultures and traditions. Having lived in both Canada and the United States, Maynard has been educated in the native cultures of both countries.

Maynard began drawing at the age of six and began serious studies in Northwest Coast design at age seventeen. Since then, Maynard has won a number of logo and art competitions. His blending of the Salish and Kwakwaka’wakw art forms has resulted in a unique and contemporary vision of many of the traditional legends. Maynard tries to incorporate those legends with each piece that he does and, in the telling of the story, he continues a long tradition that enhances his artwork and authenticates his interpretation of the designs.

Maynard’s work continues to offer this unique blend of color, design, culture and legend which he hopes people enjoy for many years.
