Note: Nuna Parr was born near Cape Dorset, and raised by his adoptive parents, Parr and Eleeshushe, early graphic artists. The family moved to Cape Dorset in 1960, and Nuna began carving in the 1960s while still in school. He favoured animals, particular bears in expressive poses, and developed great skill in working with the natural grain of the stone. Nuna Parr is Canada’s most accomplished and recognized living Inuit artist. He is particularly acclaimed for his dancing bears, which are characterized by their natural movement and rounded form.
