AOUDLA PUDLAT (AUDLA) Born: July 23, 1951 Male E7-1366
Resides: Cape Dorset
Drawings, Prints, Printmaking
... "In the early 1970s he began to draw highly stylized bird images--a theme
which he primarily concentrates on today. About the time Aoudla began to
draw, he also began his apprenticeship in the lithography studio. As his
mastery of the printing process progressed, he proofed and also editioned many
of his own works. Now an accomplished printer, his chop appears on many
of the lithographs editioned in the Cape Dorset studios...His stepfather is
Oshutsiak Pudlat."
