12" Mother and Cub Swimming Bears by Bill NasogaluakInuit art: Swimming Bears Inuit Artist: Bill Nasogaluak Size: 12" long, 4" high, 3" wide Community: Yellowknife, NWT Stone: Alabaster id: jl 44 1027acbjy This is a gorgeous pairing of a Mother bear and her cub. Shoulder to shoulder, the strength of their bond will mean life or death for them as they negotiate the Arctic waters. I find myself holding my breath silently encouraging them to be strong. Hoping they will reach their destination unharmed.

His  black nose is slightly bulbous imparting a slight cartoonish demeanour

Dorset ID#: 85-21

I am so honoured to be able to obtain these elusive carvings from Manasie for my gallery

His fastidious proportions

We had two other dancing bears a couple months ago that were also made with the same calibre and quality as this one

Inuit Artist: Sam Kolola

Inuit Print: DOG WITH KAMIKS

I really like the light green Adam uses in this context

Unlike many of our Canadian Inuit artists

It is the eye catching colors of the eyes that bring his pieces to life
