"Lucy Meeko is a Canadian Inuit artist born on the land near Kuujjuaraapik, Arctic Quebec, Canada. Her husband Noah Meeko is also a 
talented artist, and together they attended print workshops and were involved with several of the annual Arctic Quebec print collections. 

Meeko was approaching middle age before a new creative outlet opened up for her, and with it, recognition as an artist. After studying various print techniques in Povungnituk she went on to be a prolific and important contributor to the Arctic Quebec print collections of the 1970s. Relying on traditional themes for subject matter, Meeko's prints are often stylized collages illustrating an almost spiritual relationship between Inuit and animals of the North. Among Meeko's other talents are sewing and carving. Here again she concentrates on the things she knows. Familiar images of mother and child, or walrus on an ice flow are naturally and simply depicted in her sculptures.

In 1989 Meeko was the guest of the McCord Museum of Canadian History in Montreal, where she demonstrated caribou skin tailoring and sealskin bootmaking."
