Rita Kompst - Local Artist, Musqeaum Rita was born and raised in Musqueam. Her late father, Joseph Becker (Point), was a former Chief of Musqueam. He was also a self-taught artist who was well known for his wood carving and Salish designs. Her late mother, Evelyn Norris (Campbell) was also from Musqueam but lived on Vancouver Island. She is the eldest child and had 5 sisters and 5 brothers. “I had never considered myself to have any artistic abilities at all but while delving back in my culture and heritage, I discovered a passion for cedar weaving and knitting. I currently work full-time as an executive assistant and now that my children are grown, spend my free time being creative!”
