Annie Pitsiulak
Canadian, born 1950
Annie Pitsiulak is a graphic artist from Pangnirtung (Pannirtuq), NU. Born in 1950, Pitsiulak came from a family of artists, including her brothers Alan Alikatuktuk (sculptor and graphic artist), Ananaisie Alikatuktuk (graphic artist), and Thomasie Alikatuktuk (graphic artist).
Pitsiulak married sculptor and graphic artist Lypa Pitisulak, and in 1977, the family moved from Pannirtuq to an outpost camp where Lypa pursued hunting. The couple had seven children, one passed away as a teenager. Their daughter, Malaya, was born at the outpost so far away from the nearest community that a doctor from Iqaluit had to talk Annie through the birth over radio while Lypa delivered the baby.
Most recently, Pitsiulak’s works have been featured in the ULAG 2018 exhibition Recent Acquisitions and the 2020 Unikaussivut: Stories from the North.
