About Roy Henry Vickers

Roy Henry Vickers (born 1946) is a Canadian First Nations artist of Tsimshian, Haida, and Heiltsuk heritage, recognized as one of the leading contemporary voices in Northwest Coast Indigenous art. Working across printmaking, painting, and mixed media, Vickers draws on traditional formline design and crest imagery while developing a personal visual language that has reached collectors worldwide. He owns and operates the Roy Henry Vickers Gallery in Tofino, British Columbia, a landmark cultural destination on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Beyond visual art, Vickers is an author and public speaker whose storytelling and philanthropy have earned broad recognition, including a Grammy Award nomination. His work appears in public and private collections and is regularly encountered at auction and in the secondary market through consignment and resale channels.

Common works and media

Collectors most frequently encounter Vickers’ limited-edition silkscreen prints, often featuring eagles, ravens, orcas, and other creatures rendered in bold Northwest Coast formline. Original paintings in acrylic or mixed media appear less often. The artist also produces artist proofs, remarques, open-edition reproductions, posters, and block-mounted prints. Illustrated books, art cards, and calendars round out the available body of work and are commonly found in both primary-gallery and secondary-market settings.

Market and appraisal context

Roy Henry Vickers’ original prints and paintings represent the highest-value segment of his market. Limited-edition serigraphs, artist proofs, and remarques (prints with original hand-drawn additions) tend to command premiums over standard editions. Reproductions, posters, and block-mounted prints are widely available at accessible price points and make up a significant portion of secondary-market volume. Provenance, edition size, signature, and condition are standard valuation factors. The artist’s own gallery in Tofino offers both new works and consignment resale, providing a direct-market reference that can differ from auction results.
