Godfrey Stephens is a Painter and Sculptor.
His style is reminiscent of Ancient Greek, 1912 Futurism, Picasso and Northwest Coast Native Art.
His own techniques are unique.
Godfrey has been influenced a great deal by world famous West Coast Carver
Chief Mungo Martin (1881-1962), with whom he had a friendship as a child and young man. Born on Vancouver Island in 1939, Godfrey has spent the past 40 years traveling the world, building sail boats, creating and selling his artwork from his mobile studios.
Ascending from a family of talented artists and writers; from early childhood his mother gave him great encouragement.
Godfrey is self-taught, and has spent his time studying Native Art, the Classics, Greek Art and Architecture, and the History of Ancient Sailing Vessels.
Residing in Victoria, B.C. Canada, Godfrey continues to paint, draw and sculpt from his home studio.
He has launched his tenth sailboat, fondly named
Chief Mungo.
A great interest is in reviving and learning the Chinook trade language (West Talk) anyone interested in learning with me would be very welcome.
