Mother and Cubs

Susie Malgokak was born in Ulukhaktok in 1955. She studied the shaded pencil printmaking technique and practiced until she had perfected it. Her attention to detail is visible in the beautiful prints she creates, many of which are inspired by the stories of her father. Her prints feature scenes from her past and capture the essence of a traditional lifestyle enjoyed by the Inuit. Susie’s husband Peter Malgokak, her brother Peter Palvik, and her sister Mabel Nigiyok, are all involved in the printmaking in Ulukhaktok.
