Artist's Statement
en-ca “My first art was a drawing I did before I moved to Baker Lake. When I came here, I saw my sister doing drawings and making money and I envied her. From there, I started to make drawings. I tried to look at other people’s work. I took what I liked and moved towards my own style of mythology and a bit or realism and mixed it together. I did Inuit legends of shamans and other Inuit stories and legends. I also tried to capture the past life of Inuit long since gone. I enjoy these themes immensely. My mother was my storyteller. As I lay in bed as a child, I would ask her to tell me stories. I also had a stepfather Tutanuaq; they were the ones that told me stories.”
