Good afternoon!

 Atelihai! 

It's been a busy month and I hope you are healthy and well. 

I am teaching a 90-minute workshop at Mount Holyoke College this Wednesday. I'm thrilled to be asked back. I will post my handouts after we meet. Of course, my printer is not well. [A new one is on my Wish List to Santa.]

My ValleyCreates Project Evolution Grant class is going well and there's a whole announcement there, too. Our hybrid public reading is scheduled for Jan. 18th from 6-8 p.m. ET. Woohoo! 

I am prepping for Ottawa next week. More on that later. 

Life is good being a teacher, artist, and poet. Feel free to check my Instagram page, @ella_alk, for more up-to-date info on my work. 

My dear fren Shey recommends I start a newsletter. When I get a moment, I'll get there. 

Feel free to leave a comment and share this with a fren or two. 

Here's an image I made today. Specs are: Monday, digital, 4 by 6 inches, 2022.











Nakummesuak,

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.
