Artist Bio: Ronnie Dean Harris

Our logo was designed by Ronnie Dean Harris aka Ostwelve, a Stō:lo/St’át'imc/N’laka'pamux artist based in New Westminster, B.C. Beginning in music, Ronnie has explored various mediums such as TV, film, visual + sound design alongside various research subjects including history, cosmology, genealogy and Indigenous policy. 

Ronnie’s design career started in high school doing designs for local skateboard companies moving into professional design for advertising, branding and media applications. Ronnie has also had the opportunity to install murals and other physical design elements in spaces around the Lower Mainland. As a designer, his focus is on traditional and contemporary Salish design form.

Ronnie is the current Indigenous Cultural Development Director at Massey Theatre in New Westminster working on various cultural + social activations.  You can also hear Ronnie as the voice of Dad/Walter on the PBS/WGBH series Molly Of Denali and seen on various other TV + film projects. 

Our logo was designed with the Salish Sea in mind, as well influenced by the famous Japanese painting “The Great Wave off Kanagawa”. The clouds are influenced by Salish weaving designs and the canoe is inspired by the many racing war canoes witnessed as a youth at festivals.
