172 BOARD BOOK soy-based ink and water-based protective coating paper sourced from sustainable forests for ages 0 - 5 "On a daily basis I witness the natural world around me. My observations translate into my art. Coast Salish art has allowed me to connect to my roots. My art is a form of expression that was waiting to manifest and chose to do that through my hands and vision. I am grateful that I get to share this gift with the world and hope that it inspires others to authentically express their own creativity in whatever form or medium that may be. Parenthood has allowed me to slow down in this fast-paced life to nurture my daughter's curiosities of the world around her."
