Josephine Mark Category

Josephine is from the Mowachat First Nations Band in Gold River, B.C. She had an interest in art since she was a young girl, although didn’t begin to carve wood until 2009 when she began learning from master carver, Matthew Baker, who has been carving for over 30 years. For Josephine’s first year she sat with Matthew Baker, watching how he held and used his tools. She would ask him questions about his carvings and was curious about the work he did with cedar wood. Her curiosity and passion for art drove her to learn the craftsmanship skills that she has developed in the following years.

Since 2009, she has worked side by side with Matthew, sanding and painting his carvings, and now creates her own carvings. Josephine has developed her own style of carving that has a feminine flowing style which focuses on the animals in her traditional territory that are related to the female, like the butterfly and hummingbird. Often Josephine includes precious stone and abalone detailing which she inserts into her carvings. Josephine has a love and passion for life and it is displayed in the work that she produces.
