Artist Bio
Inupiaq Eskimo artist Aakatchaq (Ak-ah-chak) is Kikiktagrukmiut, born and raised above the Arctic Circle in Kotzebue, Alaska. Aakatchaq began creating art professionally at the end of 1999. She continues to experiment with new materials such as moving from canvas portraits to those on stretched caribou and deerskin, or creating visual effects wth large-scale encaustic paintings. She also works with various forms of sculpture from aluminum and wood to polystyrene creatures.
"I believe each piece of art carries a little bit of the artist and it is through love of Native people and my culture that I can share the beauty within.”
