Betty Joe was born in Duncan, B.C. in 1967 and was raised in the Cowichan Valley.  She takes the Sea Wolf as her family crest.  Mostly self-taught, her introduction to carving began when she was 14. She is the single mother of two boys who are quickly picking up on their mother's talents.

As a member of the Cowichan Tribes, Betty Joe takes great pleasure in carving.  Every artist has someone they look up to and admire as a role model or respect for their artistic talent and for Betty Joe, that person is Dempsey Bob, of the North West Interior.

Betty Joe enjoys creating portrait masks of Shaman, Human or 2 & 3 dimensional masks. Her expertise also ranges in doing carvings of bowls of the Raven, Eagle and Frog and also now creates up to two foot (2') Human Figurines.  Betty's artistic carving skills are currently expanding, and she is now creating Animal Pendants or Broach Pins, Little Eagle Feathers and Paddles.  She uses Alder, Red Cedar, Yellow Cedar and Pine Wood for all of her carvings.
