A Behind The Scenes Look At How
The Nunavut I Knew
Came To Be
On this page you will find a list of videos that I began creating at the first part of January, 2026. They will be shared in the order that they were created. They will take you on a journey from the moment I started writing until I held a copy of my memoir in my hands! Since it took me 5 1/2 years to write, edit, proofread, and all the other steps needed to publish my memoir, you can be assured that there's a lot of stories to share in this section!
Please enjoy...

These seems like the perfect spot to also share the cover...
The above videos talk about the artwork (sculpture) that is being
used to create the cover design. I don't get into how the design evolved
from initial concept to final design.
In these next two videos, I do share how concepts evolved... but for
the back cover...

Waaay back in Video #12 I shared an interesting story about where I was
when I came to the end of what I was able to do myself... it was time
to hire a professional editor. The timing of this was very interesting because
I was on ancient Indigenous land on Halloween - the day of spirits.
In Video #23, I share how I have come to the end of needing any kind of
professional help... the closing of this circle of events! The work is done!
I'm ready to upload my memoir to kdp Amazon.
On this day... just yesterday... I happened to find myself on ancient
Indigenous land, once again... surrounded by white pine trees!
This species of tree is the reason I became an artist over 30 years ago!
So... again... the timing of events is very interesting... and here's that story...
