Quaraq Nungsuitok, born on May 18, 1986, in Iqaluit (formerly Frobisher Bay), Nunavut, is a prominent Inuit carver renowned for his dynamic sculptures that capture the essence of Arctic wildlife. At the age of 13, Quaraq began carving using hand tools, learning by observing his father, the esteemed carver Tukiki Manomie. Known for his bear sculptures, usually made of serpentine or sometimes marble, are typically standing on all four paws or dancing on their two hind legs. His bears are in many art galleries across Canada.
