Immerse yourself in Raven Skyriver and his wife Kelly O’Dell’s mesmerizing underwater world of intricately crafted sea creatures. Experience Dan Friday’s homage to Lummi heritage through his stunning glass salmon, feathers, and fishing-inspired pieces. Discover Lillian Pitt’s cast glass faces and spirit figures, echoing the ancient petroglyphs of the Columbia River Plateau.
These works, along with contributions from other talented artists, create a vibrant tapestry of Northwest Native glass art.
