Olooreak Etungat is the adopted daughter of Abraham Etungat, a well-known sculptor from Cape Dorset.

Although she has taken a few jewelry-making classes, Olooreak is largely a self-taught artist who was inspired to draw by seeing the work of others in the community. Olooreak’s work mixes the traditional and the contemporary, often in quite sensitive and unexpected ways.
