Shuvinai Ashoona is one of Kinngait's most vibrant rising stars. A 3rd generation artist who has gained recent international popularity, she is known for her vibrant and thought provoking depictions of life in the arctic.

Shuvinai primarily works in pen, ink, pencil and oil stick but is also known for her prints. Her monumental drawings are visually complex and highly detailed landscapes that challenge the existence of borders between what we may see as natural or supernatural worlds.
