• Cultural traditions are honoured by acknowledging cultural affiliation on product packaging

• Artists are paid in fees and royalties

Simone Diamond is a self-taught Coast Salish artist from the Cowichan Tribes whose work is celebrated for its clean, elegant lines and modern aesthetic. Since beginning her career at age 16, Simone has developed a distinct visual language that honours the rounded forms and symbolic imagery of Salish design. Her work often features the wildlife of the West Coast, rendered with a sense of harmony and cultural pride. By making her art available through contemporary lifestyle products, Simone aims to share the beauty and resilience of Coast Salish traditions with a global and diverse audience.
