Ancient totem poles found in the Pacific Northwest are highly-personalized, familial treasures that communicate lineage and spiritual heritage. These sacred objects are codified with tribal symbolism and no two totems are the same.

As a contemporary totem maker, I continue ancestral practice while incorporating new materials and forms. Each piece is one-of-a-kind and intended to bring the owner inspiration and wellbeing.
