Elizabeth (ilisapi) Gordon is a selftaught mixed media artist, born and raised in Iqaluit, NU, who now lives in Ontario. Gourds are her special choice of natural materials to grow and work with where she paints, wood burns, sculpts and carves to depict northern imagery and Inuit legends. Her other artistic interests include doll making, painting, sewing, sculpting polymer clay faces of Inuit elders, and jewellery making. Elizabeth enjoys travelling to the north to share and teach youth and adults the fun in making art.
