A new children91裸聊视频檚 book is taking flight, owed in part to imagery of the Northwest Territories painted by Salmon Arm91裸聊视频檚 Audrea Loreen-Wulf.

Written by Danielle Matcalfe-Chenail and the book91裸聊视频檚 subject, Frederick 91裸聊视频淔reddie91裸聊视频� Carmichael, Freddie the Flyer 91裸聊视频� released by Penguin Random House Canada in October 91裸聊视频� pays homage to the 89-year-old Charmichael, the Artic91裸聊视频檚 first Indigenous commercial pilot, highlighting moments of his life, from his early childhood dreams of flying, to achievements experienced in his 70 years of flying.

The book has been praised for its captivating children91裸聊视频檚 story about an Idigenous 91裸聊视频渇irst,91裸聊视频� for drawing on the Gwich91裸聊视频檌n and Inuvialuktun languages, and for Loreen-Wulf91裸聊视频檚 artwork, which Kirkus Reviews says 91裸聊视频渦nderscores the breadth and beauty of the subarctic landscape with scenes of musk oxen and caribou, broad snowfields, and swathes of seasonal wildflowers beneath twilit skies and bright Northern lights91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频�

The book itself was a first for Inuvialuit painter Loreen-Wulf, who knows and has been a passenger of Carmichael91裸聊视频檚 when he91裸聊视频檇 fly her into bush camps. She said Carmichael and Penguin/Random House Canada reached out to her to illustrate the book, which she agreed to. However, Loreen-Wulf91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频渋llustrations91裸聊视频� are actually colour-accurate photographs of paintings on canvas she did for each of the pages.

91裸聊视频淚 do so much on canvas; I didn91裸聊视频檛 want to illustrate it as a drawing and then colour the drawings,91裸聊视频� said Loreen-Wulf. 91裸聊视频淪o I made an agreement with Penguin that I would just paint it right on canvas and they agreed to it. They photographed it and it turned out really interesting. It might be something for other artists to consider.91裸聊视频�

Flipping through the book, Loreen-Wulf becomes excited when it stops on a page with a painting of a snowmobile travelling at night towards one of the Northwest Territories91裸聊视频� famous Pingos (Inuvialuit for 91裸聊视频渟mall hill91裸聊视频�).

91裸聊视频淭his is really important because snowmobiling to the Pingos, there91裸聊视频檚 two Pingos91裸聊视频� in the middle of the night, that is really something,91裸聊视频� said Loreen-Wulf.

Another thing in the book that stands out for Loreen-Wulf is a page in the back that offers the names of the months, and what they mean, in both Gwich91裸聊视频檌n and Inuvialuktun.

91裸聊视频淚t was supposed to be totally translated but it got too much,91裸聊视频� said Loreen-Wulf. 91裸聊视频淕etting anything translated is really expensive, so we settled with just this. But the Penguin people were happy with it.91裸聊视频�

Born in the Tuktoyaktuk area, Loreen-Wulf said she got into art and painting when she was in school.

91裸聊视频淚 was never a smart person at school but I could paint, I could draw, I could do all those things, so it91裸聊视频檚 something that I just kept going, and I started selling with just little cards at first, and it grew onto paintings and it91裸聊视频檚 what I91裸聊视频檝e been doing all my life,91裸聊视频� said Loreen-Wulf, noting much of her work has focused on the Northwest Territories, where much of her work has sold.

91裸聊视频淪he91裸聊视频檚 got paintings everywhere; she does portraits 91裸聊视频� in the Northwest Territories, in Yellowknife where the Legislative Assembly is, she did a portrait of one of the premier91裸聊视频檚 there,91裸聊视频� said supportive spouse Harald Wulf. 91裸聊视频淪he is well known.91裸聊视频�

The Wulfs said they lived up north much of their lives, and called Burns Lake home prior to relocating to the warmer climate of Salmon Arm about a year ago.

91裸聊视频淲hen we moved to Burns Lake, we didn91裸聊视频檛 know that was the coldest place in B.C.,91裸聊视频� said Harald. 91裸聊视频淲e said no, we want to get a little warmer, and we like fishing and stuff so this is good.91裸聊视频�

Asked what she enjoys painting, Loreen-Wulf said she prefers animals and landscapes, though she receives a lot of requests to paint people 91裸聊视频� and their dogs.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 not fussy 91裸聊视频� I91裸聊视频檓 a commercial artist, said Loreen-Wulf. 91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 the first one to say that. I attended a commercial arts school for a year where I learned all the disciplines of doing artwork . You can spend a lot of money and have lots of paintings collecting dust in your home, or you can sell things.91裸聊视频�

Loreen-Wulf said Freddie the Flyer was available locally at Bookingham Palace.
