Saimaiyu was born in Iqaluit. She moved to Cape Dorset as a child, where she has lived ever since. Her parents, Lau Akesuk and Olayuk Akesuka were one of the first Members of the Legislative Assembly in Nunavut.
Saimaiyu was inspired by the work of Ningeokuluk Teevee while they took a class together, and turned that into her own unique style.
In her works, Saimaiyu often draws bears, birds and other wildlife rendered with strong colours and patterns. Through simple stylised forms, Saimaiyu's work exudes energy and whimsy, and takes a bold approach to contemporary Inuit imagery.
Clayton Anderson was born and raised in West Vancouver, British Columbia. Inspired by iconic Canadian painters such as Emily Carr and Lawren Harris, Clayton's paintings demonstrate a strong understanding of composition as well as a subtle yet luminescent rendering of light. His work evokes a distinct power of place.
Rick Bond is an established western Canadian artist. He currently lives and paints full time near Vernon, B.C. He was born in Victoria, B.C. and grew up in the Gulf Islands off the west coast near Vancouver. Rick started his painting career in 1980. Formally trained through the Emily Carr Outreach program, Okanagan University College, Pearson College Summer School, Victoria , Federation of Canadian Artists and other professional artists' workshops.
Madrona Gallery respectfully acknowledges the Lekwungen peoples, on whose traditional lands the gallery stands.
