Portfolio Example & Artist Statement

I harvest my own animals from the sea. I use traditional practices to salvage and donate the meat from my seal and sea otter harvests. I incorporate many other Alaskan furs with my seal and sea otter. I created colored sea otter in 2017 and now have collections in many different museums. All the pieces are tacked by hand and then machine stitched.
