These are exciting days!

 Atsusi! 

Nakummek to all who are reading my posts. I appreciate it very much. 

My latest news is my class, Poetry Painting 2022, starts tomorrow! Five of six students have their art supplies via UPS or hand-delivered. The last one should be at the student's home on Wednesday. 

Big thank you to the Community Foundation of Western Mass. for the funding to be able to teach six awesome students. 

We do have FB, Twitter, and Instagram pages. We'll post during classes. 

Other news, 

  • my "Waves" painting/digital art will come down this Friday, 7/29/22. There's still time to go see it at the Greenfield Savings Bank in S. Deerfield, MA. There are only six of them out there swimming in this big world. If you go, let me know what you think. 
  • I am ready to bring my three paintings to the frame shop tomorrow for the all-Indigenous art show at the Plymouth Center for the Arts in August! I'm soo excited! 
  • There's a Nipmuc Nation powwow on Sunday! Click here for the poster. It should be great fun! I know one of my frens will have a table. 
  • I will speak with curator this Friday for art show at Pulp Holyoke. More news to arrive soon! 
  • I take commissions for artwork. I can paint or digital art or make beaded Orange Shirt pins or beaded necklaces. 
Life is good even though the news about the Pope visit is challenging. There are hotlines available to call if you need more support. 

Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK) posted the hotline number. Please call them if you need some extra help. 












Take care and feel free to email me. Atsunai-

More art for sale

I painted an ulu and an inuksuk on 6 x 6 x 1.5 inches canvas. They're for sale at $65.00 USD/$89.00 CAD. I accept e-transfer and Venmo. I can email that info once I know where to ship them. Shipping and Handling costs vary by location. If sold in Hampshire/Franklin counties, I can deliver.  Both are original Inuit art and similar pieces sell in the Indigenous Art Market in Toronto for the same price.  Look at previous post for other paintings for sale too.  Let me know if you're interested. Follow me on Instagram: @ella_alk and you'll find more information there.  Life is good and better with paint.
