For The Dance Current, I created an original cover illustration portraying an
aerial dancer whose strength and grace symbolize the themes of the issue—histories, identities, and power.

Pauktuutit Inuit
Women of Canada
Cover & Header Illustration
About the Cover... Uuktuutiit is the Inuktitut term for
“Tools for Measurement”. Inuit seamstresses are accustomed to using a keen eye and their experience of observation to make precise
measurements. They understand that there is no one size fits all. Just like sewing together the meticulously measured pieces of a pattern, choosing the sexual health indicators that work best for each community’s or region’s needs will help to assemble a holistic picture of sexual health which is tailored for the perfect fit!

Ataatasiaq’s Legacy
I wrote and illustrated a story about A young brother and sister who embark on a journey of discovery as their grandfather teaches them the skill and knowledge required to build an igloo. Through his wisdom, they learn not only the technical aspects of construction but also the deeper cultural significance of the igloo within their Inuit heritage. This timeless tradition connects them to their
ancestors, reinforcing the resilience and ingenuity of their people.
