Ahgupuk originals on ceramic tiles of sled dog scene, arctic polar bear and umiak scene

Ahgupuk originals on ceramic with type passage – “I had these tiles made special. Bought plain tiles in town, took them to Mr. Ahgupuk, the Eskimo artist and told him what I wanted painted on and then one of the boys who works for Bill glazed and baked them. The boat is called Umyak (oomiak) when there is room for more than one”
From the Private collection of Kat Peterson, Southern California

Ahgupuk original caribou on the tundra
…”the soft spoken George (Ahgupuk) would come in only about twice a year if I recall correctly and when he happened in one day with this water color i was spelled bound. So beautiful, so alive with color, and caribou on caribou skin; I thought…how appropriate! He seemed a trifle embarrassed by my fawning over it but I had never been so drawn to one of his pieces before and he had brought things in previously and they too were fabulous, but this piece was meant for me!”…Kat Peterson
From the Bob and Cathryn Rapalli collection
