and paintings of Tsa-qwa-supp from the collection of Legacy Art Galleries and interactive carvings by contemporary artist Tlehpik, which were inspired by the work of his teacher and friend Tsa-qwa-supp. When Tsa-qwa-supp visited the young Tlehpik, it was always
by emerging from the fog. Tsa-qwa-supp taught for many years and inspired a number of artists who also acknowledge the role of this respected teacher.
