I have loved Inuit art since I first saw some when I lived in Labrador and then again when I went to Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. A wonderful visit to the land of the Midnight Sun!!
Kenojuak Ashevak is a Canadian Inuit artist born Baffin Island October 3, 1927 died June 8, 2013 Cape Dorset Nunavut Canada
I really liked what she had to say about her art!!
“I just take things out of my thoughts. I concentrate on placing it down on paper in a way that is pleasing to my own eye, whether it has anything to do with subjective reality or not”.
I wish I could have captured the loveliness of her graphic bold style. Pen and Gouache on an index card (I’ve joined the index card challenge).
