Born in 1952 (Merritt, British Columbia)

Janice Morin is the daughter of Salish and Cree parents. She and her family moved to Vancouver during her teenage years in order to help her obtain great fortune. Janice and her family moved into the same native Co-op building as the legendary master carver Oppie Oppenheim. He quickly took the young artist into apprenticeship after seeing her original designs. Over the course of three years, Janice became adept at carving both wood and jewellery.

The second great artistic influence came into her life when Janice Morin met her husband and internationally renowned Coast Salish artist Randy Stiglitz. Hand in hand their artist careers have flourished with each being a strong and steadying influence in the other.
