Joanne Nelson is Tsimshian from Lax Kw'alaams and was born and raised in Port Edward and Prince Rupert, BC in northern British Columbia. Joanne has always had an interest in traditional art forms and grew up surrounded by wonderful works of art. She has dedicated herself to the study of Tsimshian arts and has observed many artists, particularly engravers fo
