Born in Nain, Labrador's northernmost
Inuit community, Gilbert Hay is one of the senior Inuit carvers. Gilbert has
traveled extensively as a cultural interpreter and ambassador; his works are
found in museums and collections world wide. From a large family himself,
Gilbert lives in his village of 1200 with his family and still practices a
traditional lifestyle. It is his love of the land and sea and pride in his Inuit
heritage, that inspires the images he sculpts in stone.
Gilbert has been carving professionally since
1971; He has done lithography in both St. John's and Cape Dorset. Mainly,
Gilbert works in stone, most recently the beautiful anorthosites ( granite &
labradorite composite ) from Northern Labrador. His works have been exhibited in
major North American exhibitions and galleries.
