***Museum Piece

This is our absolute favorite piece in the gallery.

When subjected to light, the translucent stone’s ghostly echo springs to life in an explosion of magnificent color.

This Orca whale and her calf effortlessly swim through the depths of the Arctic ocean. The contrasting colors of black and grey charge this masterpiece with electrical energy.

I love the movements of these whales.  It is so intense and realistic.

Taylor has earned a spot among the ranks of today’s top master carvers like Ruben Komangapik. His sense of motion, dynamics, and movement are exceptional and are a testament to the talents these master carvers must possess.

Derrald's Orcas are the best in the world in my opinion. My clients love the Orcas but particularly the Mother and Calf motif.

Taylor’s pieces have toured worldwide and are in countless publications, Inuit art journals, exhibitions, and museums.
