Andy Mamgark started carving in 1958 when he was living in Rankin Inlet. He 
later moved to Tikirarjuaq (Whale Cove) in 1961 and then on to Arviat in 
1965. Mamgark liked working with stone and has produced a variety of subject 
matter ranging from owls, walrus, and polar bears to mother and child images. 

Mamgark's wife, Eva Seuteruk Mamgark, his son Johnny Kopanuak Mamgark, and 
his daughters Susan Pauppa Mamgark and Martha Katuak Mamgark are all artists 
in Arviat. 

Mamgark died tragically in the summer of 1997 as a result of a carving 
accident.
