Angus Cockney

Born in Tuktoyaktuk, NT, in Canada’s Western Arctic, Inuit sculptor and multimedia artist, Angus Cockney spent 13 years in a Catholic-run residential school in Inuvik, NT. Later, Angus ventured South to study audio-visual communications. Returning to the North after completing his studies, he began creating art based on his culture, his concern for the environment and his desire to be an educator and spokesperson supporting the Inuit art world and northern peoples.

Angus is now based in Canmore, Alberta and maintains a studio at his Rocky Mountain home and continues to create his art. He also actively pursues commissions and speaking tours throughout Canada and abroad.
