MARK REDSKY
Heritage
- Ojibway
Mark Redsky was born into the Anishnabe Nation in
Kenora, Ontario.
Mark discovered his artistic talents for stone
carving in high school and has continued to work on
his craft since 1995. He has also expressed himself
artistically in the form of poetry and acting.
Being Anishnabe, Mark draws upon his heritage and
nature for inspiration in his work. Animals,
inukshucks and abstract representations are Mark’s
more common themes. He works in a number of
different stone, including alabaster from Italy
(white) and the US (translucent orange and pink) and
soapstone from Brazil. He has recently started
carving in chlorite (black) from British Columbia.
Mark Redsky’s work has been widely welcomed by
galleries and collectors.
