Ella Alk Inuk

 It's a great day to be an Inuk artist!  I was mentioned in the December 2021 Quabbin Art Association Newsletter as a new member. You can find them at www.quabbinartassociation.com. It looks to be a good organization and I'm looking forward to getting to know them.  I am thrilled I will be an Artist in Residence in January 2022 for Easthampton City Arts! It's posted on their Instagram.  You can find it  here  [https://bit.ly/3I9R3P3]. Have a good day and feel free to reshare/repost or follow me on Instagram : @ella_alk or on Twitter : @ellaalk. 

A big thank you to Gallery A3 member, Rochelle Shicoff, for asking me to be her guest artist. Also thank you to Gallery A3 member Sue Katz for hanging my pieces. You can see our work from Thursdays to Sundays between hours 3 to 8 PM.  My acrylic paintings are up! There are two inuksuk ammalu an ulu amma an Inuk.  The fifth painting called "Every Child Matters Shirt" will be added once one of these gets sold.  Photo by Chris Alkiewicz, 12/02/21 I stand next to my artwork, grateful.

Free event, handicapped accessible. Find Gallery A3 on Instagram .  My (5) six by six-inch acrylic paintings are for sale. All five are for sale at $75.00 USD, starting 12/02/21. These paintings are varnished and ready to hang on your wall.  This is called "Inuksuk mikijuk" which means Small Inuksuk.  The larger Inuksuk painting is in the "November Red" show in Holyoke, MA.  This is "Blue Ulu."  An ulu is a woman's knife that Inuit women traditionally use for cleaning skins and cutting meat.  This is called "Every Child Matters Shirt." My mom is a Canadian Residential Boarding School survivor and  Orange Shirts represent the residential boarding school survivors.  This is "Happy Inuk" and was a joy to paint with her tunniit.  This is "Inukusk in Labrador" with Labrador colours.  I take commissions with half for deposit and a week deadline.  All photographs of paintings were taken by Chris Alkiewicz.
