Germaine Arnaktauyok is a printmaker, painter, and drawer originating from the Igloolik area of Nunavut, then the Northwest Territories.She is one of the few Inuit artists with formal art training. She studied Fine Arts at the University of Manitoba and had her first public exhibition at the Winnipeg Art Gallery in 1998. The media she works with consists of lithographs, etchings, and serigraphs that illustrate Inuit myths and traditional ways of life from her past experiences and ancestral culture. Her designs are two-dimensional revealing expressive line work illustrations that indicate personal stories incorporated in the subject of past Inuit tales. She had great success as an illustrator of children's books written in Inuktitut and English. In 2003, Germaine's 'Drum Dancer' was chosen by the Canadian Mint for the image on the two-dollar coin.
