“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

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. |

Hecate Strait Scarf – State II
Susan Point RCA
CA$420.00100% Silk; Limited Edition of 100
Exclusively available through Coastal Peoples Gallery
“Hecate Strait is a wide but shallow strait between Haida Gwaii (formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands) and the mainland of British Columbia. Hecate Strait, because it is so shallow, is especially susceptible to violent storms and weather; therefore, has always been revered by the Northwest Coast First Nations Peoples.
The shallow waters make it an abundant place for marine life, especially for spotting Orcas and Humpback Whales breaching.
In this scarf design, I’ve illustrated the turbulent waters, abundance of Orcas, and Salmon.
Orcas are great guardians of the ocean, with Seals as slaves and Dolphins as warriors. Orcas are closely related to humans; I was told many legends as a child of the whale people and their villages beneath the sea.
Salmon are a symbol of abundance, wealth and prosperity because Salmon are the primary food source for the people of the Northwest Coast. It is also symbolic of dependability and renewal representing the provider of life. Salmon in pairs are good luck.”

Beaver Swimming
Norman Tait
CA$1,400.00Serigraph, Edition of 95
Unframed
(For inquiries on custom framing, please contact the gallery)
The Beaver appears in Northwest mythology and is a family crest in many regions throughout the Northwest Coast. According to legend, the first Beaver was a woman, whose husband frequently went on long hunting and fishing trips. In his absence, his lonely wife took solace swimming, enlarging her pond with a dam and building her own water dwelling. Eventually, she transformed into a Beaver and their children were Beaver People, founding the Beaver lineage.
In mythology, they are often associated with the powerful undersea supernatural beings and the magic Giant Beaver can cause natural disaster with one slap of its wide, strong tail. Characterisically, the Beaver is known to keep to himself and cares little for the activities of the humans, except when they are directly affected. Thus, they often give wise advice so it is important to listen when they do decide to speak.

“Raven Transforming” Triptych [Framed]
Trace Yeomans
CA$12,000.00Left Panel: Ultrasuede appliqué on board
Centre Panel: Red Cedar wood, Acrylic paint, Carved

2021
Framed
25.75 x 21.5 x 2.25″ (each panel)
25.75 x 64.5 x 2.25″ (entire triptych)
“I called this triptych ‘Raven Transforming’ because the design continuously transforms from one medium to another to form a complete Raven design.
This was a fun set to work on – each panel being a completely different medium created a bit of a challenge to keep all of the pieces aligning where they meet. This meant checking several times throughout the process of each panel. I was pleased with the way these came together in the end.” – Trace Yeomans

Eagles with Salmon Toilet Paper Dispenser
Trace Yeomans
CA$7,000.00Ultrasuede, Douglas Fir wood, Yellow Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
25.5 x 6 x 11.25″ (rolled, including stand)
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
