Gerald Kuehl

Self-taught photographer and pencil artist Gerald Kuehl was born in Ontario and grew up in the community of Pinawa, northeast of Winnipeg. After studying at the University of Manitoba, he rediscovered his high school passion—drawing—and has since refi ned it into an astonishing craft. In 1997, a fortuitous trip to the First Nations community of Manigotagan, Manitoba, set in motion a twenty-two-year project that took the artist to the remote corners of the province, and ultimately, deep into the northernmost Canadian territory—Nunavut. Kuehl’s works have been showcased across the country. He has two grown sons and lives in Winnipeg with his wife, Sara.
