“I had never painted a paddle before this one. I wanted to try something that was bold, modern, and eye-catching, but still traditional in the Haida design sense, so I chose black and red that together reads a bit electric.” – Trace Yeomans

Nation | Haida Nation |
Description | Haida Nation Trace Yeomans was born on Haida Gwaii to a Haida mother and a Ukrainian father. She has been an artist for most of her life, prompting her to pursue this passion throughout high school, and to acquire post-secondary training. Her passion has always been painting but she is also known for her beautiful Dance Regalia with appliqued Haida designs and fabric art techniques, some of which are displayed in museums around the world. Trace has frequently worked with her husband, Don Yeomans, combining their respective skills to create unique and critically acclaimed artwork, examples of which can be seen in her fabric art and paintings. She has also worked alongside him painting and carving on several totem pole commissions, including the monumental poles in the rotunda of the Vancouver International Airport. Trace has explored many mediums during her art career but always circles back to her first love – oil painting. Trace and Don have passed down their creative skills to their children, Kyran and Crystal. Both of their children are now independent artists, recognized in their own right. Their son for his film work and their daughter for her fashion design. For more details on her Exhibitions, Public Commissions and Permanent Collection, please contact us directly. |

Goat Horn Ladle
Elsie John
CA$2,375.00Goat Horn, engraved, with Yellow Cedar wood baseSpoons and ladles were traditionally made from either cedar wood or the horn of a mountain sheep, and their handles were carved with family crest images. Historically, these exquisitely sculptured objects were primarily created by people in Northern Nations, and were highly sought after by other nations. During potlatches [festive gatherings], cedar ladles decorated with the hosting family’s crests were used to serve food, while the elaborately carved mountain sheep spoons were distributed as gifts among the many guests.
Today, spoon and ladle productions are based on these traditional objects and are meant to be both objects of function and display. In addition to traditional mediums such as cedar wood, goat or mountain sheep horn, many modern-day spoons and ladles are constructed of gold, silver and pewter.

Eagles with Salmon Toilet Paper Dispenser

144 x 4″ (unfurled, without stand)
“This was a piece that came to mind during the ‘toilet paper panic’ during the early stages of this pandemic. I thought it was peculiar that people were lined up and panicked about buying toilet paper, sanitizer, and masks rather than food and water. I wanted to create a modern looking, free standing art piece that – like the masks I created – would be emblematic of the times we are in, but would also hold the traditional aspects of my culture…I felt that this piece would be something that the whole world could relate to and understand, even if they know nothing about Haida art.” – Trace Yeomans

Raven’s Tail Chilkat Miniature Apron / Mask
Trace Yeomans
CA$2,500.00Ultrasuede, String
7 x 8.5″ (mask only)
14 x 14 x 4.25 (with display case)
“I wanted to create a piece that was emblematic of this time. Something [that was] meaningful to me and that would represent my culture. I wanted to keep the traditional aspect intact, so I made the mask resemble a miniature dance apron. Although these masks are strictly decorative, I have added ties so they can be put on the face for photos to represent that they are masks.” – Trace Yeomans
