ABOUT

A FAMILY OF ARTISTS

Dennis, Elizabeth and Linda Wright founded the company and have invited their creative family members to join. We aim to make our art and crafts accessible to the world. The Wright family is Gwich’in, originally from Inuvik and Fort McPherson Northwest Territories. They are a family of artists, inspired by the beauty of Canada's arctic.

Elizabeth (Liz) Wright

Liz has an eye for detail and beauty. Photography is one of her many passions. She comes from a long lineage of leaders and craftspeople. Liz is the chief of the Teetl'it Gwich'in Band and lives in the hamlet of Fort McPherson, NT. Her photograph's capture the beautiful people of the Western Arctic and scenic views of the land of the midnight sun and Dempster highway. She loves preserving the intricate detail of traditional beadwork and sewing.  

Liz spends much of her time enjoying outdoor activities on the land, visiting with family and community members and travelling for work and pleasure.

Dennis Wright

Dennis is an artist, storyteller and heavy duty mechanic by trade. Constantly learning and improving his craft, he has developed a unique style and skill to represent the land, machines and people around him.

Dennis finds inspiration on the land and water ways often using natural materials to create exceptional artwork. Dennis lives in the hamlet of Fort McPherson, Northwest Territories.

Linda Wright

Linda is Gwich’in from Inuvik, Northwest Territories. Expressing herself artistically since childhood, surrounded by the beauty of nature, growing up in the north was her initial inspiration. Throughout her life, Wright has worked in and travelled to many communities in the Western Arctic and Sahtu regions, creating a true appreciation for the unique landscapes and cultures of the north. Linda currently resides in Alberta with her family.

Dorathy Wright

Dorathy is a Gwich’in seamstress, quilter and artist from Inuvik, Northwest Territories, living and working in Norman Wells, NT. She shares her traditional knowledge of parka and cover making with people around the north. Her work celebrates colour, line, and texture. She aspires to be a contemporary dressmaker and one day start her own fashion line.

Dorathy is committed to continuing to support, educate, and donate to her local community in the hopes that her crafting skills can encourage other young artists to engage in healthy and productive hobbies.
