Soroseelutu Ashoona
(1941 – Indigenous / CAD)
Born In Cape Dorset, she is married to the sculptor, Kiawak Ashoona. She is the granddaughter of artists, Pootoogook and Ningeookaluk. Sorosiluto is also the half-sister of Joanasie Solomonie.
“If it weren’t for Pitseolak, my mother-in-law, I don’t think I would have ever learned to draw. For a long time, she kept asking me to try but because I was afraid to try, it wasn’t until a year later that I started. Sometimes I try to do some pictures of stories I have heard about the old days. Sometimes it seems when I begin to draw that not on purpose, I am drawing the same thing I have done before. Sometimes when I see the finished print, I can’t really remember when I did the drawing but I like the prints better than the drawings because of the colours.”
