Kenojuak Ashevak - Owl's Courtship

The great Canadian artist Kenojuak Ashevak passed away January 8th at her home in Cape Dorset. She had a long and illustrious career and will be sorely missed by people near and far, both for her engaging personality for those who had the pleasure of meeting her and the creative genius that brought both her work and Inuit art to the forefront of the art world.

Before we knew she was ill we had approached Kenojuak and Dorset Fine Arts to create an exclusive print for the gallery and the result is the stunning stone cut and stencil print, Owl's Courtship.  We had the privilege of seeing the print being printed in Cape Dorset in July of 2012 by master printer Qavavau Manumie and have published the photos of the printing in progress on our web site.
