She captures the play of tension and release in her figurative works, while in her landscapes focuses on tiny details such as the curl of arbutus bark.

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.

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.
