Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok

Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok was born 1934 in Nunalla, Manitoba. She was an Inuk artist. Known for her sculptures, Tasseor Tutsweetok worked principally with grey steatite, a hard stone local to Arviat on the Nunavut mainland, where the artist moved following the closing of the North Rankin Nickel Mine in 1962. Always remaining close to the stone's original form and leaving its surface unpolished, her sculptures take maternal and family groupings as their principle themes. In 1992, she completed a large sculpture for the Canadian Museum of Civilization.

Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok died on April 12, 2012, in Arviat Nunavut.
