Jaw, Mialia

(1934–2006)

Born in Kinngait, NU, Mialia Jaw was a talented carver before she started her art practice in printmaking later in life. Jaw created complex prints using techniques such as lithography, aquatint and etching. She incorporated storytelling into her work, drawing from Inuit legends and personal childhood experiences. Jaw was included in the Cape Dorset Annual Print Collections in 2004, 2005 and 2006.
