A modern version of painting that pays homage to the traditional beading that Metis people were known. Dot Art uses a single dot of paint to represent beadwork. Brian uses traditional patterns of flowers and other images from historical clothes and documents as my inspiration. However, the design for the paintings are original. He has been in a number of local art shows and was selected among a panel of international art judges to be under the mentorship of Antoine Gaber.

I intend to further empower the Metis/Native community by having my helping hands in the making of the pieces come from these communities. Most jewellery designers send their design to China and have them reproduced overseas for a very low price. It feels important to me to keep First Nations and their descendants connected and lifted up, and this is my dream. Every piece I make is a meditation, and every piece is cleared and smudged and blessed.

Clayton Samuel King is a multi-media artist that works predominantly with acrylic paint. The common themes in his work relate to his Indigenous cultural background that is highly influenced by the Professional Native Indian Artist Incorporated, three generations of Woodland School artists and the sublime of nature. He does his best to interpret the knowledge that has been bestowed upon him to help sustain Anishinaabek culture and history through several artistic practices. He has recently been working and experimenting with visible and invisible ultraviolet luminescent paint. Working in the dark is different, but the advantage of this new media has helped him heighten the spectral and metaphysical aesthetic he wants to produce to the viewer. This medium is new to the Woodland Art Style, and it is a medium that Clayton will continue to use in the future.
