Pauline was born on September 21, 1964, and has lived in Vancouver, BC, all of her life.  Pauline was introduced to the art by her aunt Marylou who taught her to bead in the mid 80’s. Pauline’s painting career started in 2009 with encouragement by Eric Parnell, Haida Gwaii artist, and has been collaborating with Eric since then. Pauline’s own style is a combination of realistic and traditional.  Pauline has been designing and painting her own art work since 2010.  Pauline considers the art to be very spiritual and healing. One of her goals as an emerging artist is to be a small part of reviving our native culture.

A self-taught Haida artist born in Prince Rupert, BC in 1961, Eric is a member of the Masset Band. His crest is the Eagle and his family clan is the Frog. While Eric has always been exposed to Haida art, he only started creating prints and paintings on a regular basis in 2002. Eric cites Bill Reid and Robert Davidson as his primary influences, and most of his pieces reflect classic Haida design. Eric’s goal as an artist is to “continue to be a small part of the revival and continuity of our peoples’ traditions.” Eric currently resides in Vancouver.
