"I love indigenous artwork from around the world, human mark-making and the Iñupiat Ilitqusiat, or our values system of northwest Alaska. My influences include my cultures, family, and inspiration of the beauty of nature that surrounds us, as well as other artists whose story and style I admire; such as my maternal Iñupiat grandfather Teddy Sockpick- whose art was expressed through his skilled scrimshaw etchings, and my paternal Swedish grandmother Florence Selberg-Ringstad, who placed a priority on the arts and enjoyed working in watercolor. I grew up part of my years in Alaska, and in Western Washington.
My life and my artwork embody the intersection of my own diverse life and cultural background. A deep connection to my Inupiaq roots is expressed through contemporary media with influences from the carvings, scrimshaw and artwork of my people of the Bering Straits Region of Alaska, and also Scandinavia.
Quayana and tusen takk for visiting my website!"
