Martine J. Reid was married to Bill Reid for the latter half of his life when he created most of his monumental art works such as The Spirit of Haida Gwaii (also known as The Jade Canoe at the Vancouver International Airport) and The Raven and the First Men, both of which have been featured on the Canadian $20 bill.

Before he knew about his Haida heritage, Bill Reid turned to carving ship models and miniatures at the age of 12.

Bill Reid Collected (D&M 2016) by Martine J. Reid reveals the only surviving work from that period is a tiny Victorian tea set that he made out of white chalk, coated with pink nail polish, for his younger sister who kept it nestled on a bed of cotton balls in a pocket-sized matchbox.

The miniature tea set is one of 126 art works presented for the largest chronological collection of colour photographs of Bill Reid's art pieces to date-including jewellery, paintings, serigraphs and large carvings. Martine Reid
