This young stone carver can’t remember ever not loving art

David Pudlat shares his love of creating and tells us about carving an inukshuk out of Nunavut's serpentine rock.

David Pudlat remembers that when he was six or seven years old, he drew a man trying to catch a seal. Somebody told him the drawing was good, and that was what gave him the confidence to pursue art.
Now 13 years old, Pudlat is a practicing artist in his hometown of Cape Dorset, Nunavut. He loves hunting with his father, Mosha Ragee, who taught him how to carve. (Ragee is a part-time sculptor who sells his works to the West Baffin Eskimo Co-Operative Limited, an organization that buys carvings from Inuit artists and distributes them through Toronto's Dorset Fine Arts.)
