“For this [paddle], I wanted to do something very unique and original. I decided to combine both my ethnic origins, using a traditional Haida-style design for the Hummingbird, with intertwining flowers on the black background. I borrowed this idea from Ukrainian Easter eggs, which have black backgrounds and brightly coloured designs or flowers.” – Trace Yeomans
