His painting and sculpting style combines West Coast iconography from First Nations references to classical Greek and nautical elements.[1] He is also a wooden boat builder.[2] Life and workGodfrey Stephens was born in Duncan, British Columbia. As a boy, he began an influential relationship with First Nations carver Chief Mungo Martin and Tony Hunt and began carving.[3] He dropped out of school at the age of 14.[4] Mostly self-taught, living on his boats, Godfrey has painted and sculpted his whole life with no other occupation [5] In 1973, the 24 foot tall abstract cedar columns were inaugurated at Victoria's Times Colonist Press buildings[6] where they currently stand [7][8] In 1971, at a ceremony to inaugurate the Pacific Rim Park, then Federal Parks Minister Jean Chretien presented Princess Anne with a small wooden abstract carving the Parks Board commissioned from Godfrey.[9] In 1984, Godfrey carved the Weeping Cedar Woman to protest the logging of the ancient trees of Clay'quot Sound.[10] The 18 foot tall protest piece stayed on Strawberry Island for 17 years and is currently in Tofino, British Columbia.[11] Godfrey has produced a large body of work including paintings, sculptures and sailing vessels.[12] Godfrey is the older brother of Nature's Path Foods founder Arran Stephens. Books and mediaGodfrey and his art have appeared in several books,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19] magazines,[20][21][22] newspapers,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] and blogs.[32][33] Lloyd Kahn credits Godfrey as the inspiration for his popular book "Builders of the Pacific Coast" by Shelter Publications.[34] The book Wood Storms, Wild Canvas: The Art of Godfrey Stephens by Gurdeep Stephens focuses exclusively on highlights of Godfrey's art, with photos of over 100 carvings, paintings and sailing vessels.[35] "Wood Storms, Wild Canvas: The Art of Godfrey Stephens" won a Gold Medal for regional non-fiction in the 2015 19th Annual Independent Publisher Book Awards also known as the IPPY Awards.[36] References1. ^{{cite book|last1=Stephens|first1=Gurdeep|title=Wood Storms, Wild
