Inuk artist Kenojuak Ashevak dies at 85


 World-renowned Inuk artist Kenojuak Ashevak died this morning at home in Cape Dorset, Nunavut, at age 85.
Ashevak is considered a pioneer of Inuit art. Her drawings, prints and sculptures have been bought and displayed around the world.
'I think Kenojuak [Ashevak] is remarkable as an artist who has stayed true to that very clear idea of beauty that she had already when she was in her 20s.'
—Christine Lalonde, art gallery curator
