ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Artist Rob Stauffer hand-painted Diving Sea-Wolf & Moon Drum using traditional Northwest Coast designs. The drum depicts a mythological creature which could change from a wolf to a sea mammal. Stauffer notes: "some believe it is actually the orca or killer whale as it makes sounds common to both orcas and wolves."
