From the National Arts Centre to Hui Malama O Ke Kai in Oahu, Katherine Takpannie has honoured and celebrated Inuit excellence. She wants to achieve a worthwhile career creating art that’s also purposeful, encaptivating and shares who she is. Photography has been her way to contribute meaningful art to our Canadian society.
