In 2013, I spent seven months in the arctic, documenting and painting the subsistence whaling culture of the Inupiaq people of Utqiagvik, Alaska and providing free, community outreach art classes in various villages within the North Slope.

This project was made possible with the support of the Barrow Arctic Science Consortium, the collaboration of the Barrow Whaling Captains Association, and of course, the people of Utqiagvik.
