About the artwork.
Favoring formal studies of animals and birds as subject matter, such as the bears depicted in The Bear Race, Kingmeata Etidlooie became well-known for her willingness to experiment with materials— combining watercolors and acrylics with drawing. Etidlooie was one of the first Kinngait printmakers to incorporate watercolors into their work and later became heavily involved with the newly formed West Baffin Eskimo Cooperative painting studio.
