Description

Kenojuak Ashevak was widely considered a Canadian national treasure. She was a groundbreaking artist for Kinngait Studios, in the Arctic territory of Nunavut, and ultimately a pioneer of modern Inuit art. Ashevak made her first print as a member of the cooperative studios in 1958, and for decades she continued to transform the plants and animals of the Far North into radiant works of art. “I was trying my best to say something on a piece of paper,” she said. “I was thinking of the animals and beautiful flowers that covered our beautiful, untouched land.” After establishing her reputation in 1960 with The Enchanted Owl—an image so popular it was reproduced on a Canadian postage stamp—she worked nearly nonstop. She contributed to the Kinngait (Cape Dorset) print collection almost every year and completed countless special commissions. Ashevak loved to make pictures of birds, particularly owls. Reflecting on her art, she said, “I am the light of happiness, and I am a dancing owl.” Share her joyful images this holiday season with the four cards in this notecard set. Contains five each of the following holiday cards: Courting Loon, 2008 Owl’s Bouquet, 2007 Sun Owl and Foliage, 1980 Vigilant Owl, 2007

She is marvelous—puts character in every brushstroke.

Ashevak is wonderful. She takes each bird, and gives it character. I’m going to love sending out her cards to my friends and relatives. The quality of the pictures is as good as the character depicted.
