Josie was an Inuit artist who lived in Puvirnituq, Quebec. He was one of the first Povungnituk artists to become involved with printmaking in the early 60’s.

Josie began creating small soapstone carvings in his forties with encouragement from missionary Father Steinmann. The subjects of his sculptures included small birds, fish, and human heads. Later, Josie began experimenting with stonecut prints before focusing on drawing using felt markers, crayons, and pencil crayons. His drawings, prints, and sculptures capture daily life in a gentle and humorous way, illustrating personal experience rather than traditional Inuit stories which were the focus of many other graphic artists in Puvirnituq.

Josie’s work has been exhibited in numerous exhibitions in Canada, the United States, and Europe since 1962, including The Inuit Print/L’estampe inuit, a touring exhibition on view from 1977 to 1982 organized by the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and the Canadian.
