Mayureak Ashoona grew up traditionally on the land and was exposed to art from a young age. Her mother, Sheouak Parr was a graphic artist and one of the first women to participate in the drawing projects of the 1950s. Mayoreak began drawing in 1963, and is known for her imaginative and highly coloured graphics. She has been consistently represented in the Annual Print collections from Cape Dorset since her work was first published in 1978. She is also recognized as a master carver in her own right. Her pieces often depict the natural world, done in a variety of styles, ranging from abstract to figural, and portray her unique Inuit perspective. She lives and works near Cape Dorset, Nunavut. Her work is held in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa), Canada Council Art Bank (Ottawa), and Canadian Museum of Civilization (Hull, Quebec) and many others both public and private.
