Biographical Information
Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas ~ [b.1954] Canadian
Yahgulanaas became a full-time artist after many decades working as part of the Haida Nation's successful campaign to protect its biocultural diversity. In the late 1990s, after exposure to Chinese brush techniques and under the tutelage of Cantonese master Cai Ben Kwon, he consciously began to merge Haida and Asian artistic influences into his self-taught practice, and created the art form called "Haida Manga.".
