Primarily interested in carving, Glen Rabina is also an accomplished serigraph artist, known for his bird & wildlife prints. He has studied at the Gitanmax school of Northwest Coast Indian art at K'san and works in both traditional and modern styles of Haida design. Glen also works with fellow Haida artists on collaborative carvings, most recently, a totem pole at Masset on the north coast of the Queen Charlotte Islands. Glen now makes his home on one of B.C.'s Gulf Islands, where he continues his work in a variety of mediums.

Although Glen Rabina is not from native descent, his work is given respect in the native community. It is because of his studies at K'san and his respect for the Native culture and tradition that his work is held up, which is a great honor in the Native culture.
