Paintings from this year (sorta).
I poured the colourful latex paint on these 12" x 12" canvases back in 2019 for a university project. This year I added some of my Indigenous art on them featuring Raven, Frog and Otter. Sold.

I did cover #art for the @writers_ex. This book is a collection of tales from the kids of ¿uuqinak’uuh Elementary and I was thrilled accommodate the kids requests for some #eerie art! I really enjoy doing #illustrations like this!

So awesome, happy to have my artwork a part of this resource!
A new resource from ELP and @_FPCC is now available! "A Linguist's Code of Conduct" is a collection of thoughts, reflective questions and suggestions for linguists who are engaging in (or preparing to engage in) linguistic work with Indigenous peoples: fpcc.ca/linguistcode

The raven has its wings spread in front of a gold circle, with a yellow lightning bolt coming from its beak. At the top of the image is a green text box: "A Linguist's Code of Conduct: Guidelines for Engaging in Linguistic Work with Indigenous Peoples. By Dr. Anna Belew and Dr. Amanda Holmes." At the bottom of the image are the logos of the Endangered Languages Project and the First Peoples' Cultural Council.
