JANINE GIBBONS lives between Southeast Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands, and the Pacific Northwest. She comes from pilots, mariners, navigators, berry pickers, fishermen, and weavers.

Her work explores ancestral memory, canoe migrations, river and coastal histories, and the relationship between art and land.
