Kyle Aleekuk is a self-taught visual artist from Edmonton, AB. Inspired by the bold colours and style of the printmakers of Uluhaktok (Holman), including his grandfather Peter (Aliknak) Banksland and great aunt Agnes Nanogak Goose, Aleekuk adds his own contemporary twist by incorporating elements of classic tattoo art in crisp watercolours and India ink. He is currently a Program Officer at the Inuit Art Foundation.

The greatest assistance I had starting in the arts was to know a few people in the Inuit art world of whom I could ask questions. An Artist Portal that connects artists who have questions with those that can provide answers will prove to be an invaluable
resource.

Being able to make new connections with other artists is awesome. Having access to opportunities for Inuit artists is also amazing and I feel grateful for that.
