Children of the Salmon

Three young members of the Git-Hoan (People of the Salmon) Dancers, a Tsimshian dance group which performed at the 2024 Indigenous Voices of the America Folklife Festival on the National Mall in Washington, DC. This illustration will go on to be featured in an August article in the Smithsonian Folklife Magazine, produced by the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage. These three children are shown in full regalia moments before their performance, which kicked off the 2024 Folklife Festival.

Though I utilize tools such as the Adobe suite and web-based alternatives in my work, I actively choose not to utilize AI features and disable them when possible. I am strictly opposed to the use of AI in art production, and am currently searching for alternatives to industry standard products that use AI. I do not consent to the use of my work in generative AI algorithms or for any other AI training purposes.
