Coho

My name is Hik Stubs in the Lushootseed dialect, my English name is Jason Gobin, and I am a member of the Tulalip Tribes. I have been doing artwork since I was a young boy learning from my grandfather Bernie Kia Kia Gobin and my uncle Joe Gobin. My focus is on the revitalization of the Salish art forms and utilizing it in many different mediums. I am carving, painting, weaving, and working in metal, glass and digital media. The print represents a school of coho in my beach seine net, swirling around in the net, while fishing at Tulalip. –Artist statement
