Thunderbird

Born in 1973 in Duncan, B.C. Sam is Coast Salish of Cowichan, Renelakut, Esquimalt, Irish, and Italian and French descent. Through my studies, I have come to truly appreciate this unique Coast Salish art form. It is an incredible gift our ancestors have given us. My goal as an artist is to provide a contemporary expression of this ancient and distinctive art form. –Artist statement
