Ed Archie NoiseCat produces custom and limited edition Bronze Sculpture, Glass Sculpture, Carved Wood, and Jewelry.

Born in 1959 NoiseCat grew up in British Columbia’s remote, mountainous interior with his mother’s people, the Canim Lake Band of Shuswap Indians. He draws inspiration from his mother’s plateau culture, and from his father’s people, the Stlitlimx, closer to the coast.

NoiseCat graduated from Emily Carr College of Art and Design, where he studied printmaking. In 1986, he headed to New York to work as a fine art lithographer at print shops.

Often referenced as the leading voice among the elite within the Contemporary Native Art idiom, Ed Archie NoiseCat’s multi-medium body of work in glass, bronze, metal, and wood has earned significant acclaim internationally. Commanding a broad knowledge of his peoples’ history, NoiseCat draws on the stories of his ancestors to create distinctive 3-dimensional images executed with unequaled craftsmanship.

NoiseCat loves to work on a grand scale. He took the top prize at Portland’s first annual Indian Art Northwest with a free-standing, six-foot square carved cedar screen. He also works on a smaller scale, carving masks, rattles, panels, puppets. Many pieces incorporate transformational elements. He recently introduced two new lines of work: sculptural jewelry in silver, gold, and semi-precious stones; and art furniture that joins the structural forms of the Northwest longhouse with traditional Japanese woodworking techniques.
