I am a Kwak'waka'wakw artist, and I have been drawing and painting since I could hold a crayon! I started designing button blankets for my family when I was 14 years old, and learned to paint from my sisters and was later mentored by the late Dora Sewid Smith when we painted the house posts for my father's home when I was 17 or 18.
I love traditional formline design, and I love to experiment with contemporary abstract formline. My favourite designs are the sisiutl and the blackfish.
