artist biography
Hudson, an artisan rooted in the Arctic heart of Iqaluit, Nunavut, has captured the spirit of the North in his one-of-a-kind handcrafted caribou antler pens.
Moving to Iqaluit at age seven, Hudson developed a profound respect for the land, shaping his passion for turning raw, natural elements into extraordinary pieces of functional art. His craft honors the wisdom passed down from local elders and his study of traditional tool making, metallurgy, and silver smithing under the guidance of Mathew Nuqingaq and Moe Lewis. This blend of heritage and personal vision allows Hudson to craft with reverence, sourcing caribou antlers from family hikes or local communities.
