“Our art retells our ancestors’ stories about our connection to the land that we have respectfully lived on for thousands of years.” – Francis Horne Sr., Coast Salish
Francis Horne Sr., a revered Coast Salish master carver with over 52 years of experience, has dedicated his life to preserving the stories of his ancestors through his art. Largely self-taught, he also learned from esteemed mentors, including Chief Simon Charlie, a renowned artist. Artistry runs deep in his family—Horne’s four brothers, Aubrey, Doug, Howard, and Perry LaFortune, are all accomplished carvers. His legacy also lives on through his daughter, Simone Diamond, an accomplished Coast Salish artist in her own right.
Horne’s work is celebrated worldwide for its precision and depth, from monumental house poles to intricate jewelry. In 1986–87, he carved four poles for the town of Duncan, BC, and later expanded into silverwork, specializing in jewelry. His totem poles have found homes in private collections around the globe. In 1988, his craft earned him an invitation to Singapore to demonstrate totem pole carving.
Specializing in large-scale house poles, masks, and limited edition prints, Horne’s artistry reflects the rich traditions of his Coast Salish heritage. Now based in the Fraser Valley, he continues to create monumental works while serving as a spiritual advisor and healer, carrying forward a legacy of cultural pride and connection to the land.
