Lukta Qiatsuk (1928 - 2004) was a printmaker, graphic artist and sculptor from Kinngait (Cape Dorset), NU. A leading member of the West Baffin Eskimo Co-op, he created work for many of their print collections between 1959 and 1980. As the main printer for more than two hundred pieces, Qiatsuk was also involved in the production of a good number of the most esteemed and recognizable Cape Dorset images. Inspired by the work of his father, Kiakshuk, Qiatsuk started art-making, soon finding success in his own right.
