Qappik specializes in stone cut, stencil, etching and lithography, and his artwork depicts animals and traditional Inuit culture in a realistic style, often with a wry humour.

His work has appeared in many publications, including several issues of the Inuit Art Quarterly, and can be found in many public collections, including the British Museum (London, UK), National Gallery of Canada, Winnipeg Art Gallery, Dennis Museum Centre (Travers City, Michigan). Andrew Qappik made a member of the Order of Canada in 2017. He continues to live and work in Pangnirtung, Nunavut.
