Matted Print ~ Summer Feast

The double matted prints have a black accent mat with a natural white mat overlay. Each matted print is 8″x10″ with a print size of 5″x7″.

This print is a replica of an original limited edition silk-screen serigraph created in 1992. It depicts sockeye salmon with an embossed image of a Bear and her cub feasting on spawning salmon that are swimming up river. The sockeye salmon are determined, persistent, and will not give up until they reach their goal, their spawning site. The design is created in the Northwest Coast style.
