Lisa Kamahamak Lynch is an Alaska Native (Inupiaq) beader, painter, and skin sewer. She was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska and spent her summers in Nome with her extended family learning about her culture and traditions. She describes herself as a member of the Nome Eskimo Community from Anchorage. She also spent time in the summer visiting her father’s family in upstate New York and traveling the east coast of America. She studied art history and classical studies in Rome for four years where she learned to appreciate art and the depth of emotion it carries. Currently, Lynch is a pre-med student at the University of Alaska Anchorage.
