commentary:

Eliza was a Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in citizen who lived in her traditional territories in the Klondike. She had a fantastic depth of character and appearance, which I tried to capture in this wood engraving. Referenced from a photograph by Paul Gowdie. Watermark and deckle paper for illustration only.
