Sheojuk began drawing late in life, decades after other Cape Dorset artists of her generation, and became almost an overnight sensation when her first prints were published in the 1994 Cape Dorset annual collection. Like many Inuit who came to drawing as elders, Sheojuk’s drawings and prints are naïve, almost childlike in their simplicity. They have a directness and clarity that make them seem simultaneously ancient and very modern. Young Kayakers was included in Sheojuk’s debut in the 1994 Kinngait print catalogue. Although she created numerous striking single figures, Sheojuk is well-known for her serial imagery, in which one image is drawn two or several times on the paper with only minor differences in details or colour variations.
