Nevin Hayter, Folk Artist, born January 10, 1964, is the youngest son of Ron Hayter, a long time alderman with the city of Edmonton. Nevin is an Edmonton based sculptor working in cast aluminum. Nevin grew up and was educated in Edmonton, Canada. In 1995, after being injured in an accident on an oil rig, Nevin opened his first art studio and turned his focus to his art. He worked in mixed media sculpture and jewelry making at that time. He worked as a full time artist until the year 2000, at which time he was offered a contract with the Provincial Museum of Alberta (in 2005 it became the Royal Alberta Museum). He worked there on contract until 2008. He still maintained his studio and worked off and on at his art. In 2007 he switched his artistic focus to cast metal sculpture. Nevin has exhibited his work locally, but in 2005 was invited to show his work in Paris, France at an arts show put on by Kilometer Zero (an arts organization located in Paris) in conjunction with a magazine launch by Kilometer Zero. He has also had his work displayed in an exhibit on Dragons at the Royal Alberta Museum in 2007.
