Josephine Vaccaro-Chang is a Canadian mixed-media artist based in Tiny, Ontario.  

Located close to Georgian Bay, where the beaches stretch over 70 kilometers, she is inspired by her surroundings and attempts to capture the tranquility of her environment through her art.

In March of 2026, Josephine's series of master studies, titled Sargent and Friends was debuted at Katerina's Art Gallery.

Through the process of recreating master studies, she decided to include portraits in her body of work.

Prior to 2020, Josephine delivered interactive workshops to over 5,500 primary aged children based on books she wrote and illustrated. 

During the pandemic she created an art exhibition featuring tile mosaics of the characters from her book titled, We Are Colourful Friends.
