Saskatchewan NAC Auction House Biography and Notes
Elsie Klengenberg grew up in the Read Island area but moved to Holman when the Read Island HBC post relocated in 1962. She was one of the first artists to learn and develop the stencilling technique that is used to great effect in Holman today. In 1980, she started working in the printshop and was given help by Mary Okheena to learn the stencil technique. Mabel Nigiyok began the following year and the three women worked creatively and cooperatively in developing the sophisticated stencil method of mylar overlays to create layers of colour and tonality in their work.
