Mary often works in collaboration with her husband Luke Anowtalik. She is the daughter of artist Elizabeth Nutaraluk and the late Andy Aulatjut. She started carving while living off the land in the 1950's and her artistic career began in the mid-1960's. Her strong sense of family and tradition shows in her work. Individual subjects in her sculptures often emerge only as faces.
