Glitches

 Ullaasiak or Ullukut, 

I haven't been posting lately and apologize. June is a busy month and lots going on. 

Happy PRIDE too! 

I created a stellar painting for my Angutik's bday called Birthday Blue. He loves it and hung it up in his office. I'm quite proud and received many compliments on it. 

I painted images for my niece's wedding and presented them to our relatives. (I missed two that I didn't know were coming and felt awful. I should make them and mail them sooner.) 

I dropped off my painting Sikinik at the Plymouth Center for the Arts. It's a 2022 acrylic painting
16 by 20 inches. It's for sale for $300. USD and 30% of the profit return to PCA. The show runs until July 23d. You can see it here (under my legal name). The joy of the image is I painted it while staying in a hotel last summer in Plymouth. I was waiting for my husband and found myself painting a happy water scene. 

I'm supposed to go to Toronto for a day sale. I really want to go but with my impending ENT appt., aatsuk/DK/je ne sais pas if I will feel up to driving hours North. My last throat appt. took a day and a half to get over. It would be great to join the fabulous Indigenous artists and make some money.





Lastly, my Intermediate Inuttut class is going swimmingly. You'll notice I use more of our language in my work. I can't keep silent after years of lost language learning. 

Feel free to message me and I take commissions. I can send a .PPT of what work I have shown or sold thus far in 2023. You can catch me on Instagram @ella_alk too. Have a good day and don't forget, 

Life is good and better with paint!

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.
