Larry Rosso is considered one of the finest of the Master Carvers on the Northwest Coast. For some time, Rosso focused most of his energies on the production of superb bent boxes. His steamed and bent boxes are without equal, carved to perfection and of outstanding design and proportion. Larry began carving at quite a young age under the expert guidance of his grandfather. He recalls, as a child, seeing his grandfather carving a large canoe and since that time cannot remember ever wanting to do anything else.

Rosso has been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with many major artists; in particular, Doug Cranmer and Robert Davidson. Rosso is now creating panels in a circular format. Four of his four-foot panels can be viewed in the Air B.C. Departure Lounge, Gate A9, at the Vancouver International Airport. This past year, the Vancouver Stock Exchange commissioned a beautifully carved Beaver Panel for its private collection and featured it on their annual report.

The Deschutes Gallery is proud to represent the work of this important Carrier artist.
