Ukrainian Hummingbird Paddle

“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

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

Ukrainian Raven
Trace Yeomans
CA$4,500.00Oil paint on Canvas
Unframed
“The title symbolizes my Haida crest and my Ukrainian heritage. I wanted to show that they are all Raven eggs in the nest, but one looks different. This idea parallels with my life growing up in a village looking white, not fitting in, and standing out.” – Trace Yeomans

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

CA$3,000.00Oil paint on Canvas
2021
Framed
25 x 25 x 0.75″ (framed)
20 x 20 x 1″ (painting only)
“I love painting with oils, but have done less over the years, as it causes lung issues with me. I’ll only paint one or two oil paintings a year now. When I set out to paint this moon, I had in mind the idea to paint him as a Full Moon (heavy-set) with attitude, as if he were ‘full’ of himself, so he looks a bit smug.” – Trace Yeomans
