Here's a little bit more about the artist Arlene Ness who is a First Nations Gitxsan Artist...
from her bio
Hi, my name is Arlene Ness, and I am an artist.
I live in Northwestern BC in a little town called Hazelton, on Gitanmaax Reserve.
Aside from being a VERY busy mother of four, I am a first nations (Gitxsan) artist with traditional carving and jewelry, stained glass, and various other mediums. I hope you enjoy my art and come back every now and then to see what I have created.
I will be showcasing my artwork here, I hope you enjoy this website. Be sure to send e-mail to let me know what you think (or to contribute articles or ideas). I'll be updating, so check back!
