Kenojuak Ashevak is 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. 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 Kinngait’s (Cape Dorset’s) print collection almost every year and completed countless
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.
