She was also the author of children's books, her works include, "The Legend of the Fog"[3] and "Grandmother Ptarmigan".[4] Family LifeQaunaq is the daughter of Mary Kudjuakjuk, a graphic artist. Qaunaq grew up traditionally on Inuit lands and began to make small carvings after her father’s death when she was still a girl. She was married to Inuit artist, Ohotaq (Oqutaq) Mikkigak.[1] She resides in Cape Dorset, Nunavut. Art WorkSculpting is her preferred artistic medium, Qaunak stated, "It feels very good when you're comfortable in feeling good about your carvings especially when other people like your carvings. Then you know you can do a carving each and every time you begin one."[5] Her work evolves as she builds as she does not depend on preconceived ideas. She began her sculpting practice with simple subjects and spare forms. These evolved in volume and complexity as she developed her artistic style. At times she will combine multiple subjects to create totemic or superimposed forms.[5] In 1976, she entered a jewelry-making competition that was sponsored by the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs titled, "The Things that Make Us Beautiful." She used her skills of sewing, engraving and sculpting to create a series of colorful pieces.[5] Her work has been shown at that the National Gallery of Canada.[6] According to the Canadian Heritage Information Network, Qaunaq has over a thousand works listed, some of her most notable works include[7] "Reaching for Fish" (1987), "Weird Creature" (1988), and "Selfish Hunter" (1988).[5] Literary WorkQuanaq is also an author, her most notable work includes Grandmother Ptarmigan. The story of, "a Grandmother ptarmigan trying to get her little ptarmigan to go to bed but he refuses to go to sleep and demands a story instead. Finally, Grandmother gives in and tells him a story about the lemmings that want to come inside to get warm and burrow under his feathers. The little ptarmigan is getting more and more perturbed until Grandmother concludes the story with a bout of tickles. At this point the little ptarmigan is so frightened that he jumps up and flies away and Grandmother cries “nauk, nauk” in her sadness."[8] References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=Qaunaq (Haunak) Mikkigak|url=http://www.spiritwrestler.com/catalog/index.php?artists_id=111|accessdate=March 9, 2017|website=Spirit Wrestler Gallery}} 2. ^{{cite book|last1=Mikkigak, Qaunaq and Joanne Schwartz|title=Grandmother Ptarmigan|date=2013|publisher=Inhabitat Media Inc.|location=Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada|accessdate=March 9, 2017}} 3. ^{{cite book|last1=Mikkigak|first1=Qaunaq|last2=Schwartz|first2=Joanne|last3=Christopher|first3=Danny|title=The Legend of the Fog|date=2011|location=Iqualuit, Nunavut}} 4. ^{{cite book|last1=Mikkigak|first1=Qaunaq|last2=Schwartz|first2=Joanne|last3=Leng|first3=Qin|title=Grandmother Ptarmigan|date=2013|publisher=Inhabitat Media Inc.|location=Iqualuit, Nunavut|accessdate=March 9, 2017}} 5. ^1 2 3 {{Cite book|title=Inuit Women Artists|last=|first=|first2=|publisher=Douglas & McIntyre|year=1994|isbn=|editor-last=Leroux|editor-first=Odette|location=Vancouver/Toronto|pages=24–25|editor-last2=Jackson|editor-first2=Marion E.|editor-last3=Freeman|editor-first3=Minnie Aodla}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.gallery.ca/en/see/collections/artist.php?iartistid=3743|title=Qaunaq Mikkigak|website=www.gallery.ca|language=en-ca|access-date=2017-03-10}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://app.pch.gc.ca/application/artefacts/index-eng.html|title=Artefacts Canada|first=Government of Canada, Department of Canadian Heritage, Canadian Heritage Information|last=Network|website=app.pch.gc.ca}} 8. ^https://search.proquest.com/docview/1530205032 External links{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Mikkigak, Qaunak}}{{Canada-artist-stub}} 4 : 20th-century Canadian women artists|20th-century Canadian artists|1932 births|Living people |
