Bio for Loretta Joseph:

As a young girl growing up in Nova Scotia Loretta remembers

'whittling' wood, but didn't take it up again till the age of 50 here

in B.C., and discovered the satisfying and relaxing benefits  of

simply being with wood and knife.

Using a variation of the traditional Northwest Coast 'bent' knife, and

a straight knife, she transforms ocean, river and forest driftwood

into spoons, vessels and sculptural forms.

She is self-taught and for the past 20 yrs. has enjoyed sharing her

'free-form' style of carving, helping people connect with Nature in

this very simple and peaceful way.

Her work is in homes around the world and her most current commission,

a trophy for the Breast Cancer Challenge Dragon Boat Race, is on

display in the Mammography Clinic at Victoria General Hospital.
