The Haywards are a Tacoma based family that have inherited many talents and beautifully crafted pieces of work from their beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and great great grandmother. They have come together to share a collection of artwork in honor of their family, ancestors, and culture. In an array of mediums, the Hayward family displays their history through a visual memoir. This collection of work reflects on their identity and interrelationships.

This exhibit is organized by Hayward family member Paige Pettibon (Salish from the Confederated Salish a Kootenai Tribes of Flathead Reservation). Paige is a visual artist based in Tacoma, Washington. Her main focus is painting with acrylics, and she has extended her talents to other mediums such as jewelry making, fiber arts, and writing. She was raised on the Puyallup reservation and has been welcomed by the Puyallup Tribe working as a mentor to youth and mentee to the Puyallup Tribal language department. Her work shows influences of her upbringing and strong cultural ties. See more of Paige’s work at www.paigepettibon.com
