Jacob Frederick

​

Jacob was born and raised in the Kalinago Territory (Indigenous Reserve) in Dominica. The youngest of four siblings, he was gifted with an artistic eye and skillful hands. 

​

At a young age, he hiked the roads of Dominica, painting and sketching the landscape. Sculpting came at a later stage, mostly self taught with a few guided lessons here and there. Jacob’s sculpting was honed over the years and gained him international recognition in 2008.

​

His sculpture 'Survival' is on permanent display at the Changchun World Culture Park in China. His 2011 sculpture 'Equilibrium' is also on permanent display at the Changchun hi-tech Development Zone, China. His most recent has been on display in egypt from 2019, in honor of those who perished in War, Famine and Genocide.

​

From the village artist to the international stage, Jacob has certainly left his mark.

​

Jacob's workshops will take place at the Museum Grounds.

​

In order to further ensure you carve a one-of-a-kind piece, we encourage you to bring your own wood  from home—whether you have leftover scraps from a construction project or a cool walking stick you’ve found on a hike.
