About Me

Cama'i! / Aang! Aang! (Hello in Sugt'stun and Unangam Tunuu)

I am the face behind Naanaaruaq Creations. Pronounced [Naa-Naa-h-ua-k] /nā.nā.χuaq/. My name is Marissa 'Naanaaruaq' Vinberg. I am Sugpiaq, Unangax^, and mixed European. My father is from Kodiak Island, Alaska, and my mother is from Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. I grew up in Seattle, Washington, spent 11 years in Honolulu, Hawai'i, and now call Anchorage, Alaska home along with my partner of 10 years, our husky Kuukuuliiq, and our two chinchillas, Lani and Naniyaq. I draw inspiration from my different cultural backgrounds, nature, pop culture, and varying hyper-fixations I have. I truly appreciate the support that I've received in pursuing my artistic endeavors. If you've liked, shared, purchased, or referred people to my work, quyanaasinaq (thank you very much)!
