Nancy Pukingrnak Aupaluktuq (born 1940) is a Canadian Inuk artist known for her sculptures, drawings, and textile art.
Born in the Chantrey Inlet area of what is now the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut, Pukingrnak Aupaluktuq is the daughter of noted Inuk artist Jessie Oonark;[3] among her siblings are the artists Victoria Mamnguqsualuk, Josiah Nuilaalik, Janet Kigusiuq, Mary Yuusipik Singaqti, Miriam Nanurluk, and William Noah.
[4] In childhood, she lived the traditional nomadic Inuit life, but the difficult winter of 1958 led to the family's resettlement in the community of Baker Lake, where shortly thereafter she married.
Pukingrnak Aupaluktuq's work draws heavily on Inuit mythology, and includes depictions of Kiviuq and Kavaq.
Unlike older Inuit artists, her work shows a knowledge of Western spatial perspective.
