Mary Kahootsuak Miki (1920 - 1993) (1)

An Inuit* (Eskimo) sculptor and carver, Mary Kahootsuak Miki appears to have lived her whole life in the District of Keewatin, Canada; mostly in the area of Arviat (formerly Eskimo Point) on the north-west coast of Hudson Bay. (2)(3)

Mary Miki began carving as a source of income in the late 1950s when she and her husband gave up the nomadic hunter life and settled in a community. She is considered self taught, as are most Inuit artists of her generation. Her carving mediums were primarily stone and antler. Her most frequent subject was mother and child. Her style could be described as Inuit Art*, Naive Art* or Primitive Art*. (4)(5)

Her carvings have been included in important exhibitions such as "The Stone Sculpture of Arviat", at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Kleinburg, Ontario (1990); "The First Passionate Collector: The Ian Lindsay Collection of Inuit Art", at the Winnipeg Art Gallery*, Manitoba and touring (1990)   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 3812 characters.]  Artist bio
