Kenojuak Ashevak
Cultural Background: Inuit from Ikirasaq, southern coast of Baffin Island (in Arctic Ocean of Northern Canada)
Like many Inuit artists, Kenojuak Ashevak has spent most of her life living on the land in a manner not unlike that of her ancestors. She was born at the south Baffin Island camp of Ikirisaq, and grew up travelling from camp to camp on south Buffin and in Canada’s Eastern Arctic.
Kenojuak first began experimenting with drawing and stone carving in the late 1950s. Her early work appeared in the Cape Dorset Annual Graphics Collections, launching a career that would include numerous national and international commissions, special projects and exhibitions. Her life and art have been the subject of a film produced by the National Film Board of Canada, and a book entitled “Graphic Arts of the Inuit: Kenojuak”, published in 1981.
Kenojuak Ashevak has been accorded many honours for her achievements. She received the Order of Canada in 1967, and was subsequently elevated to Companion of the Order. In 1993, Kenojuak was awarded Honourary Degrees from both Queen’s University and the University of Toronto.

Origine Culturelle: Inuit from Ikirasaq, southern coast of Baffin Island (in Arctic Ocean of Northern Canada)
Comme bon nombre d’artistes inuits, Kenojuak Ashevak a passé une grande partie de sa vie en contact étroit avec la nature, comme l’ont fait avant elle ses ancêtres. Elle est née dans la camp d’Ikirisaq, au sud de l’Íle de Baffin, et a grandi en se déplaçant d’un camp à l’autre dans le sud de l’Íle de Baffin et dans l’est de l’Arctique canadien.
Mme Ashevak a commencé à se familiariser avec le dessin et la sculpture sur pierre vers la fin des années1950. Ses premières œuvre ont été présentées dans le cadre des Collections d’art graphique de Cap Dorset, et ont lancé une carrière qui compte de nombreuses commandes nationales et internationales, des expositions et des projets spéciaux. Sa vie et son art ont fait l’object d’un film produit par l’Office national du film du Canada, et d’une livre intitulé Graphic Arts of the Inuit: Kenojuak, publié en 1981.
Les œuvres de Kenojuak Ashevak ont mérité plusieurs récompenses. Elle a reçu le prix de l’Ordre du Canada en 1967 et fut élevée ensuite au rang de Compagnon de l’Ordre. En 1993, l’Université Queen’s at l’Université de Toronto lui ont conféré un diplôme honoraire.
