Just in time for spooky season a sweet little atigi ghost. I made a painting last year like this but this time I added a flower pattern based off those vintage flour bags they used to use to sew for parkas back in the day. Made for my Patreon subscribers. Do you think I should do a series of these?

The small river that runs through our village has started running, which is the official/unofficial sign of REAL spring. Me and the kids go for nature walks on the good weather days and chat about plants and animals. Today the kids found some beautiful honeycomb ice. #arctic #alaska #inupiaq

Skies so wide they can fit all of your dreams. Beautiful day for sliding and a picnic at the spring festival. #arctic #alaska #inupiaq #indigenous

A kind of Inupiaq self portrait. My favorite ulu, a woman’s knife. Decorated with my favorite plants. It is worn and a bit shallow on the blade and you can see it was cut from a larger saw blade. #inupiaq #alaska #arctic #indigenous #ulu #knife

The Winter Holidays in the village are never just a one day thing. There is a feast day and a dancing day and gift giving and games and they can last a week or two. This painting is inspired by the dancing. And the joy and celebration in those days.

‘Blizzard.’ But sugary. Little Inupiaq girl just dancing in the wind.
