DRAGONFLY
The dragonfly represents a symbol of change in the view of self-understanding and the kind of change that has its source in mental and emotional maturity and the insight into the deeper meaning of life.
ARTIST BIO
A self-taught Haida artist born in Prince Rupert, BC, in 1961, Eric is a member of the Masset Band from the Haida Gwaii Nation. 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 regularly 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 people's traditions." Eric's work includes a 7-feet Eagle's painting on fibreglass for the Eagles in the City Project for BC Lions Children's charity. He also has two limited edition prints currently displayed in the US Embassy: Ethan & Isaiah (twin salmons in honour of his twin nephews) and Eagle.
