Maureen Gruben is an Inuvialuk artist working with diverse organic and industrial media. In her practice, materials such as polar bear fur, beluga intestines, and seal skins combine with resins, metallic tape, and bubble wrap, creating critical connections between daily life in the Western Arctic and global social and environmental concerns. Gruben was born and raised in Tuktoyaktuk where her parents were traditional knowledge keepers and founders of E. Gruben’s Transport. She holds a BFA from the University of Victoria and has exhibited regularly across Canada and internationally. She was long-listed for the 2019 Aesthetica Art Prize and the 2021 Sobey Art Prize, and her work is held in several national and private collections.
