Shuvinai Ashoona is an Inuit artist who works at the Kinngait Studios, a community-run art-making cooperative established in 1959, which serves as the artistic arm of the West Baffin Cooperative. She is the daughter of celebrated Inuit artists Kiawak and Sorosilutu Ashoona. Ashoona began drawing detailed monochromatic landscapes in 1993 and has drawn daily for the past thirty years at Kinngait Studios. Her drawings often depict surreal combinations of places and creatures, with many featuring Arctic sea animals. Rooted in Inuit stories and storytelling, her work presents otherworldly scenes that reclaim attention for preserving the Arctic life and environment. This includes many world-mapping forms and speculative reflections about the future. A common feature in her pieces is the constant appearance of hybrid characters, transformations of humans into animals, or animals into other animals, which speaks about the multiple forms of intelligence on the planet and the spiritual forces that coexist with us daily.
