Peter Symchuk was born in 1963 in The Pas, Manitoba. He found his passion for carving in 1998, finding a piece of driftwood and carving a face. He has been an active member of the Indigenous community, particularly in adolescent sports, coaching hockey, and serving as co-chair of the Manitoba Aboriginal Sports and Recreation Council. Peter has completed over 1,200 pieces of work, which have been sold across North America and some European countries. He has also taught carving technique classes at the Artists Emporium in Winnipeg and given demonstrations at festivals and in our school classrooms.
