“Now in my life I have become an elder in my tribe, the hereditary chief of the upper Skagit people. My focus is a trained medicine person, and into my work I reflect the relationship of our people recognizing the nitrate relationship with the spirit helpers and the creator. Pieces depict spirit helpers coming through the *eythier or on our side or the dimension they live in. We are taught that when spirit helpers come to our aid, they take a form that is familiar, not fearful. When I create a piece it is representative of a spirit helper. All my pieces are meant be healing and protect the home they end up in. I have many wonderful stories of how lives have improved after my pieces are hung.” Jay Bowen
