I’ve been excited to share this portrait for a bit, now. Fannie was one of the first people I met in the Arctic when I moved to Utqiagvik. An Iñupiaq elder, and one of the last great college teachers of the language. She was always warm, welcoming, and curious. Always ready with a hug and some cheer. And witty, too. I’m certain she had a lot of laughs in her life.

When @ilisagvik_college asked if I’d paint her portrait after she passed, it was such an easy decision. I was honored. And I may have sent a few prayers out to be sure I didn’t mess it up, too. Fannie Akpik was singular, unforgettable. ❤️
