Salmon mural: Monday Murals

This Salmon mural is at the Seattle Aquarium in Washington State. This piece is called Ocean Travelers.

The salmon mural was created by artists Ray Troll and Owen Oliver. Ray was friends with Coast Salish artist, Marvin E. Oliver. They had discussed creating a collaborative piece for many years. Though Marvin passed away in 2019, his son, Owen, helped fulfill that dream.
