Main Wall: Leah Pipe
For 20 years, Leah Pipe has lived in the coastal mountain ranges of northern BC :: in a small town called Hazelton. Her community is located in the heart of Gitxsan territory with an incredible river running through it, the Skeena River. She works as a professional artist + graphic designer - she's the fourth generation of Pipes to live in Hazelton.
Leah has the Heart of a Raven - creative, curious and drawn to beauty. Her work is both simple and detailed :: capturing natural elements and portraying them in a striking, yet minimalistic layout. She aims to force her viewers to truly examine the micro-amazing details of a feather, a raven's beak, snow-capped mountains, salmon tails and the shapes of wolves' ears. It's the small details found in nature that inspire Pipe to share her art with others.

Arrivals Hall: Gayton Nabess and Carly Nabess
Gayton Nabess is a Cree-Métis who has resided in Terrace, BC located on Tsimshian territory, since 1984. He creates sculptures that seek to capture images and moments that often escape cameras or others' notice. He uses wood, metal, and stone in his sculptures and often uses natural cues in the materials to guide their development. Gayton finds inspiration in natural images, international art, and the work of his peers. Gayton is a member of the Freda Deising School of North Coast Art at Coast Mountain College at Terrace, BC. Under the guidance of Tsimshian masters, Dempsey Bob, Stan Bevan, and Ken McNeil, he has developed and practiced skills in drawing, painting, design, tool building, and sculpture. The school`s wealth of talent and commitment has encouraged him to work at his own unique style and technique.
Carly Nabess is a Métis multimedia artist living in Terrace, BC located on Tsimshian territory. Her work celebrates and honours the plant medicines and the land. Her work integrates floral beadwork and watercolour landscape painting -honouring her connection to the land through the lends of her Métis identity. Coming from a legacy of Métis artists, her work challenges mainstream stereotypes of what it means to be a Métis artist by approaching historical Métis styles through a unique and contemporary perspective. She works closely with mentors in order to create meaningful and respectful relationships with the land, her culture, and her community, and this is reflected in the beauty of her art.
Father and daughter, Gayton Nabess and Carly Nabess, make the following statement regarding their installation:
"We hope our art will bring good medicine. We spoke about what it means to have our artworks displayed in the airport during this pandemic. A small rural airport in an industrial town surrounded by large projects that bring many people from many places. An airport like this during the COVID pandemic can be a symbol of sickness and fear who have to travel. We hope our work is medicine to travelers, especially those traveling for essential medical appointments. To those risking their health in order to save their
lives, we hope our work brings you a few moments of comfort and peace and joy on your journey."
