Killerwhale III

This print is part of a series that explores various aspects of the Killer Whale. As I child I often visited Tulalip with my grandmother as that was where she grew up. I recall the impression I had of how connected the Killer Whale image resonated with my relatives there and in turn to me as well. There are various stories about them but I believe above all it is the characteristics that drive the connection. The bond of family and love of the water are two that come to mind. In any case I am honored to be part of a tradition that exemplifies the power of the Killer Whale through artistic expression. –Artist statement
