Nation | Haida / Metis Nations |
Description | Haida / Metis Nations Born on June 29, 1958, in Prince Rupert, BC, Don Yeomans is one of the most respected and renowned Northwest Coast Native artists. Born of a Masset Haida father and a Metis mother from Slave Lake, Alberta, Yeomans has studied and worked in the Haida Style since he was a youth. As a young man, Yeomans apprenticed under the expert guidance of his aunt, Freda Diesing. He worked with Robert Davidson RCA on the Charles Edenshaw Memorial Longhouse and completed a jewelry apprenticeship with Phil Janze. Yeomans has also studied fine art at Langara College in Vancouver. He has worked with many acclaimed Northwest coast artists, including Bill Reid, Robert Davidson, Phil Janze and Gerry Marks, studying their styles, techniques and philosophies. Don Yeomans crafts his artworks in many materials: he creates exquisite jewelry pieces in gold and silver, paints elegant Haida designs on paper, produces outstanding prints and is one of the finest carvers. His work can be found in the University of British Columbia’s Museum of Anthropology, the Royal British Columbia Museum, the Canadian Museum of Civilization, and the Seattle Art Museum. In 2002 he completed a major totem pole commission for Stanford University. |

“Birth of an Idea” Panel
Don Yeomans
CA$18,000.00Red Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
“Originally, this panel was a naked yellow cedar board, but I added the white to highlight the undulating formlines, which are easier to see on a monochromatic surface. The main character is basically a mighty mouse, abstracted to convey how ideas emerge from my mind’s eye towards the hands – or in this case, the paw of the mighty mouse. The condensed figure within the eye is an embryonic idea.
Yup, that’s how they all look to me!” – Don Yeomans

Karmic Frog & Raven Mask
Don Yeomans
CA$24,000.00Alder wood, Acrylic paint
“Frogs have appeared in my work for many years, portrayed as secondary characters accompanying Ravens and Eagles and Bears. Many times, Frogs are depicted in the mouths of the larger character.
In this mask, I again portray a Frog, only this time, he is not the helpless victim of a larger predator. Raven is in fact the meal of choice for this Frog, as I make up for decades of representing the Frog as a secondary figure.” – Don Yeomans

Moon & Ravens Mask
Don Yeomans
CA$15,000.00Cast Forton, Edition of 12
Unframed
(For inquiries on Custom Framing, please contact the gallery)
“When I decided to carve a Moon mask, I wanted it to depict something beyond Haida legend. Traditionally, Raven is represented with the Sun and Moon because of his role in placing these heavenly elements into our sky. With my mask, the female Moon is surrounded by two Ravens – a male and female. They represent myself and my wife Trace, as we are both from the Haida Raven clan. Looking at the stars and moon on clear nights just happens to be one of our favourite things to do.” – Don Yeomans
