In 1999, she designed the special edition two--dollar coin commemorating the founding of the territory of Nunavut.

Neil Christopher is an educator, author, and filmmaker. He first moved to the North many years ago to help start a high school program in Resolute Bay, Nunavut. It was those students who first introduced Neil to the mythical inhabitants from Inuit traditional stories. The time spent in Resolute Bay changed the course of Neil's life.

Since that first experience in the Arctic, Nunavut has been the only place he has been able to call home. For the last sixteen years, Neil has worked with many community members to record and preserve traditional Inuit stories. Together with his colleague, Louise Flaherty, and his brother, Danny Christopher, Neil started a small publishing company in Nunavut called Inhabit Media Inc., and has since been working to promote northern stories and authors.
