Featuring the Salish Heron artwork displayed on a BC Ferries vessel created as an exclusive partnership with BC Ferries who will also carry this collection in their on board boutique. 

The artwork depicts a Salish Heron, inspired by the Great Blue Herons that live along the West Coast. These birds hold cultural significance for Coast Salish peoples because they traditionally acted as guides to abundant fishing areas — a symbol of knowing where to find sustenance and navigate the waters.  

“Herons and my people once inhabited the area in what is now known as the town of Chemainus,” said Maynard Johnny Jr. “The majestic birds were once plentiful and provided the people guidance on where fish were in abundance. I have created a Salish Heron using traditional Salish design with contemporary colours that have become my signature as a Coast Salish artist.
