Description: A soft-spoken woman, Kingmeata's work appeared in almost every Cape Dorset annual collection from 1970 until her death in 1989. She had a reputation for her delicately coloured acrylic paintings. Much of her imagery was traditional and land oriented although her manner of drawing was distinctively personal

Born around 1915 in a small camp called Itinik near Lake Harbor, Kingmeata related the following vivid memories of her childhood " I remember a lot about growing up. It used to be a lot of fun growing up at that time because we didn't have many problems - like people do today. When I was growing up, we used caribou skin for parka's and for clothes. They were very warm clothes. We used to play outside - even it there would be a blizzard. I didn't learn to make a caribou skin parka, because my mother died when I was young. My sister was adopted when my mother died - to another family. I was growing up moving from one family to another after my mother died.

Kingmeata was married as a very young woman to Elijah. He died at a relatively early age, leaving Kingmeata, still a young woman, to raise their small children. " I was married quite young - in Igalalik. My husband was Elijah. When he died, my youngest daughter was still on my back [ie-still being carried in Kingmeata's amoutik]. Elijah died down south. He had tuberculosis. I was living in Cape Dorset then. We had five children - none of them adopted".

Kingmeata and her husband sometimes worked together although Etidloie often worked in the small Co-Op acrylic studio, while Kingmeata usually chose to work at home. The shortness of breath caused by a heart condition, for which she had a pacemaker, made it difficult for her to travel the distance from their home to the studio on a regular basis. Both Kingmeata and her husband took their art very seriously and were pleased that they were able to provide for all of their needs through the income from their drawings.

Kingmeata has said " I get a lot of pleasure from drawing but I am amazed that drawings on just pieces of paper can get money. I wouldn't think that they could be worth so much - just pieces of paper. I don't really know what to say about my drawings. I am shy about my drawings here in Cape Dorset. I don't mind if people down south see my drawings but I am shy about my drawings in Cape Dorset".
