Artist George Qavviu Ningark poses in his Kugaaruk home Wednesday with his drawings that reflect Inuit life in the Arctic. Ningark enjoys free-hand drawing Inuit hunters in action and Arctic wildlife. His artwork is dedicated to his mother whose Inuktitut name Nukiajuk, or ‘sea spirit,’ is depicted in his work as mermaids. Qavviu also draws his art on his handmade drums which have been sold across Canada. (Photo courtesy of George Qavviu Ningark)
