“Snerts” — 36” x 48” — Acrylic on Canvas This painting is inspired by memories of my aaka and her friends gathered around the table, laughing and playing snerts. They spoke only Iñupiat, and even though I couldn’t understand the words, I always understood the happiness. The joy. The way they lifted each other up through laughter. Now my mom plays too — and those same sounds fill her home. It reminds me that these moments continue… that our culture carries on through the everyday things we share with the people we love. “Snerts” is for the aaka’s and aana’s — and all the laughter that keeps us together.
