Continuously evolving into new spaces

Depth and otherworldliness

Steeped in her craft

Natural phenomena and dreams

Dogs both wild and domesticated

From whalebone to stone

Inuvialuit legends and stories

Fusing pop-culture and tradition

Bridging the mystical and physical

Polished to perfection

Intricately detailed and finely texture

Memory and experience

A life surrounded by carving

Incredible mass and presence

Mysteries that charm and delight

Swimming upwards

Distilled arctic animals

Inherent charm and humour

An abstract look at stone.

Finely detailed and highly technical

"Whimsical, unexpected and brimming with movement"
