Walking Polar BearView more work by Edwin Noongwook
Noongwook's work, while heavily based on tradition, carries a delicate style that is all his own. The gentle features of the polar bear's face and the soft lines of its coat comprise a piece that is not only a sensitive rendering of this animal, but a true work of art.
