WELCOME TO MY PERSONAL WEBSITE

Bill Helin is a Tsimshian/Norweigan/Finlander artist, drumming enthusiast, book writer/illustrator and designer.

Bill has focused on the Traditional Tsimshian art of his Fathers ancestry since 1980 and has created thousands of Love Rings and Wearable Art ever since.

Some of his accomplishments include designing the patch worn by astronauts on the U.S. space shuttle Columbia in 1996, Astronaut patch for Bob Thirsk his 2011 ISS 6 month mission and the carving of the “world’s largest” (192 foot tall) totem pole known as the Spirit of Lekwammen, carved for the Commonwealth Games in Victoria to symbolize unity amongst all Tribes and Nations of the world.

Since 2014 Bill has been working with Strong Nations Publishers in Nanaimo writing and illustrating children’s education books.

Another important area of Bill’s career has been drumming and singing traditional Tsimshian songs, most of which praise our Creator and thank Him for Blessing us with this beautiful earth and all it’s creatures.

Bill has recently launched a new Drum therapy and Fitness business where he teaches about the amazing benefits of Drum vibrations, drum making, designing your Life Crest and applying it to your drums.

He still enjoys creating Love and Wedding Jewelry for people and doing big wood carving projects for the home, artist in residence or corporate environments..

“Creating original works of art has been a wonderful career and hobby, but the greatest passions in my life are spending quality time with my family and drumming good healing vibes.” BH

Bill, Tamara and Trinity are featured at the Eagle Release event, at the North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre in Errington BC.
