Corrine Hunt is a Vancouver-based contemporary First Nations artist born in Alert Bay in 1959 to the well-known Raven Gwa’waina clan, of Tlingit and Kwakwaka’wakw heritage. Her paternal grandmother, a Tlingit noblewoman from Alaska, gave her the name Nugwam Gelatleg’lees, meaning “killer whale scratching her back on the beach.” Her first major influence and teacher was her uncle Norman Brotchie; today, she is a mentor and teacher to many other artists, including Hollie Bartlett, and has been working as a jeweller reflecting the themes and traditions of her heritage since 1985. Notably, she designed the logo for the World Peace Forum, held in Vancouver in 2006, and co-created the Vancouver 2010 Olympic medals with Omer Arbel. Corrine is celebrated for her contemporary yet ageless designs, which are often abstract and subtle in their depiction of images.
