Provenance
Potlatch Arts, Vancouver;
A Montreal Collection.

Born in Wapato, Washington, Glen Rabena began carving in the Northwest Coast style in 1970 and was allowed to enrol in the Gitanmaax School of Northwest Coast Native Art and Design at K’san in 1975, where he studied for two years. For many years Rabena worked with Robert Davidson as an assistant, helping him create a large canoe and Davidson's poles for the sculpture garden at Pepsico World Headquarters sculpture garden. Claude Davidson, Robert’s father, adopted Rabena as his son at a potlatch in 1986. Rabena carves masks, boxes, and bowls but is also known for his jewellery, paintings, and prints. Rabena’s Raven Frontlet is carved and ornamented in the classic Haida style.
