My Name is Mark Gauti and the tribal artwork here is inspired by my Pacific Northwest Coast First Nations (Native American) ancestors. My Grandmother is from both Songhees and Haida tribes and my Grandfather is from T’Sou-ke First Nation.
I am currently working as an environmental scientist for my tribe T’Sou-ke and working outdoors in nature within my traditional lands has influenced my artwork. I have started drawing endangered species that are in our traditional territory hoping to raise awareness about them within the community.
I also just took up photography and enjoy taking pictures of animals, plants and whatever I find interesting. As a environmental scientist I believe it is very important to share images of the natural surroundings in order to raise awareness about them.
