About the artist

Guná is a young Tlingit artist, dancer, Lingít language learner, and student of Northwest Coast design. Guná is of Dakhká Tlingit and Tagish Khwáan ancestry from the Dahk’laweidi Clan (killer whale), which falls under the wolf/eagle moiety. Her family has made the beautiful southern lakes area of the Yukon their home for numerous generations. 
Guná’s love for Northwest Coast design began 10 years ago and she continues to build on her knowledge of Tlingit Formline. 
Her practice is dedicated to preserving and understanding a highly esteemed art form and acknowledges she will never stop learning and growing as a Tlingit artist. Guná recently graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, with a major in Visual Arts.
