Artist Statement: This picture is a raven with a Tlingit mask. A raven is the main spiritual animal for Tlingit people. It brings light into people’s lives. Looking at the picture of the mask, I created my own design for the bird. I used Adobe Illustrator to create the image.

Artist Statement: This is a symbol of Tlingit culture with a flower and fish symbolizing their life.
I took a picture of a totem pole and then traced it in Adobe Illustrator. I cut the outline multiple times and then used a tool called the “Blend Tool” in Adobe Illustrator to add multiple lines in between the outline. I added a gradient to make the totem pole more three-dimensional. I repeated this with the salmon, and used the rotation tool to make it spin. I outlined a flower and put it behind the totem pole.
