Floyd Kuptana (born 1964) is an Inuit sculptor born in the former settlement at Cape Parry and moved to nearby Paulatuk, Northwest Territories, Canada. He began his career as an apprentice to fellow sculptor David Ruben Piqtoukun. He has produced his own work since leaving the apprenticeship in 1992, and now resides in Toronto. His sculptures of soapstone, serpentine, alabaster and other stone are noted for their imagery of transformation between animal and human. The artist's work relates both to the shamanic beliefs of the Inuit, and his own experiences.
