Janet Ripley Armstrong is an Iqaluit based artist who has lived in Nunavut since 1975. Janet was born and raised in St. Thomas, Ontario, but in 1970 she left the ‘south” for an adventure in Yellowknife, NWT… which she found working as a photographer / reporter for News of the North. She stayed in the North and gradually made her way across to the Eastern Arctic in 1975, where she began a teaching career in Arctic Bay.      More about Janet here.
