In 1988, he worked under Bill Reid, painting several drums of Bill’s designs and 20 paddles for the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Ottawa. In 2000, Ben painted several reconstructed artworks for the Museum of Anthropology’s “The Transforming Image” exhibition at the University of British Columbia. Houstie developed his unique style, maintaining and preserving the traditional forms of his cultural heritage and background through his artwork.
