Mayureak Ashoona

[1][2] In 2010, she participated in the exhibition Nipirasait: Many Voices Inuit Prints from Cape Dorset in the art gallery of the Canadian embassy in Washington, D.C.[3] In 2009–2010, she was part of the exhibition Uuturautiit: Cape Dorset Celebrates 50 Years of Printmaking at the National Gallery of Canada.

[1][6][9] The camp, on the southern coast of Baffin Island, required a certain level of self-sufficiency and Ashoona's carvings occupied her time and provided the family with income.

[6] Working primarily with prints, drawing, and carving, Ashoona's art is dynamic and has been internationally recognized.

Her pieces often depict the natural world, from in number of styles, ranging from abstract to figural, and portray her unique Inuk perspective.

[10] In 1986, her pieces were part of the exhibit "Northern Exposure: Inuit Images of Travel" by the Burnaby Art Gallery.
