Note:

“Lucy Qinnuayuak is a prolific graphic artist, well known for illustrations of her favorite theme — the bird image, either singularly or in groups, and in all sorts of situations or relationships...Over the years she has drawn all kinds of birds in various poses — the features of their eyes and feathers connecting them to each other. In her compositions, movement and stability are often ambiguously juxtaposed.”

Odette Leroux, North American Women Artists of the Twentieth Century: A Biographical Dictionary, 1995
