Gathie Falk is an internationally acclaimed painter and sculptor. Born in Manitoba, Gathie’s early life was marked by many moves to Saskatchewan, Ontario and back. At the age of 16 Gathie was forced to quit school in order to help support her family but completed her high school education by correspondence. By 1946 Gathie and her mother settled in British Columbia where she was encouraged to become a teacher. Gathie taught for 12 years then took her first art courses at UBC. From then on Gathie continued with her art practice, in Vancouver, and never went back to teaching. (Courtesy Equinox Gallery, Vancouver.)
