Artist: Jen McLuen
Biography
I grew up in the Salish Sea region, and continue to be inspired by the beautiful place we call home. I hand-carve all of my prints, and print each one by hand with a small press at home. Sitting quietly and observing the natural world helps me stay connected and feel a deep love and respect for our fellow beings.
Artist Statement
I feel a deep connection to the Southern Resident Killer Whales, who are in dire straits, primarily due to lack of food. Creating and sharing art is one way I practice reciprocating care for the other beings and land that nourishes us. I feel honored to be a part of this group of artists and collaborators who are working to restore a freely flowing Snake River.
