JIMMY PETOOLOOSIE |
||||
|
The young artist resides in the community of Cape Dorset, a small but important settlement on the south coast of Baffin Island.
His father, Joanassie and his brother Noah are prominent carvers. Joanassie encouraged his sons to carve and make extra money from their work, and he permitted them to assist him on their early efforts. Jimmy Peetooloosie speaks both his native language of Inkutitut and English. He enjoys both his life in Cape Dorset and particularly life on the land, where each member of the family has their own favorite summer camp. This artist is known for his depictions of wildlife, particularly the polar Bear. |
