“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

Salmon Sculpture
Chester (Chaz) Patrick
CA$980.00Exclusive to Coastal Peoples Fine Arts Gallery
Glass; etched and sandblasted (Glass thickness 12mm)
Maple wood base
Salmon are honoured and celebrated by all coastal peoples: the fish serves as a powerful symbol of regeneration, self-sacrifice and perseverance.
Shortages of Salmon are traditionally attributed to human disrespect and refusal to listen to and live by the wisdom of elders. The Pacific Northwest Coast peoples believed that Salmon were actually people with eternal life who lived in a large house far under the ocean. In spring, they put on their Salmon disguises and offered themselves to humans as food.

Empty Nest
Trace Yeomans
CA$6,000.00Oil paint on Canvas
2022
Unframed
“I started painting this piece a few years ago. The idea came to me while I was sitting and thinking about how quiet it was the day after my youngest child left home. I felt a bit lost.
It was the first of many paintings I did that year. There are many hours of intricate twig detail but at the time, I was relieved to focus my attention on painting rather than being sad and missing my kids. This was one of the most time-consuming oil paintings I have ever attempted and took the longest to complete. Through it, I felt I regained my freedom to be creative and found myself in my art again.
The nest sits empty with complex twigs intertwining with each other. They represent all that I am as a mother intertwined with hope, worry, pride, sadness, and happiness for my kids. I’ve added a ghostly white Haida Raven overlooking the empty nest to represent myself.” – Trace Yeomans

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

Raven Paddle
Trace Yeomans
CA$6,000.00Yellow Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
“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
