"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.
Susan- Your work is so beautiful- thank you for sharing your work with us on the internet!
