“I enjoy drawing the different kinds of birds. I like to watch them fly; the look so peaceful and free.”
Malaija Pootoogook was born in Iqaluit in the cold winter month of January, 1971. She is the adopted daughter of Paulassie Pootoogook and
Ishuhungitok Pootoogook, both now deceased. Malaija has been surrounded by artists in her family. Her father, Paulassie was highly regarded as a sculptor and her brother, Mosesee, is also a talented stone carver. Her brother Itee Pootoogook recently took
up drawing and is receiving critical and popular acclaim.
Malaija did her first drawing in 1994, inspired by the work of her great-grandmother, the late Pitseolak Ashoona. She eagerly participated in the etching studio workshop conducted by
Paul Machnik and Bess Muhlstock this winter and we are pleased to include two affecting images of one of Malaija’s favourite subject – the Arctic owl.
