Daisy Irene White is Haida from Old Massett, Haida Gwaii; she comes from the Yahgu ‘Laanaas Raven clan of Dadens. Daughter to Derek White Sr and Dorcas Bell, Derek being an accomplished carver who works in silver, argillite, gold and wood and Dorcas works as a weaver in Cedar bark and Raven’s Tail. Being exposed to Haida arts and culture throughout her life has lead her to working in her own art practice.

Coming from a family with so many established artists, Daisy has been afforded the opportunity to work on a number of monumental totem poles. She has helped with the carving and painting on 7 poles since 2009 working with Christian White, Derek White Sr. and Todd White. Working alongside her uncles and father, she has developed her skills in carving and painting; she is looking to the future to expand her design experience and refining her carving and painting skills, to then apply this knowledge onto a variety of surfaces and mediums.
