Arnaqu Ashevak (1956 - 2009)

Arnaqu Ashevak (1956-2009) was an adopted son of the famous Inuit graphic artist Kenojuak Ashevak. First he started as a carver, but then he began drawing and after working as an assistant printmaker for the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative in Cape Dorset, he got recognized as a graphic artist. In the 2000 annual Cape Dorset print collection Arnaqu was represented by one lithograph entitled Caribou Woman (dorset id:00-01), which was drawn directly on the lithography plates and printed by Pitseolak Niviaqsi.
