About the Artist
|
Barrie Ontario-based multi-media artist Clayton Samuel King has been working in the creative arts for the past fifteen years. Clayton has developed predominantly as a painter, but also works with several other mediums like First Nations crafts, photography, sculpture, graphite, and more recently writing. Mr. King has displayed his art mainly in Ontario as a regional artist in which he has presented his work in 8 solo exhibitions and 44 selected group exhibitions. His artwork has been acquired by many public and private collectors all over Turtle Island and abroad.
The common themes in Mr. King’s work are inspired by Anishinaabek culture, heritage, and history. When Clayton was a youth, he became influenced by the work of several woodland artists. Like many Indigenous artists, Clayton carries on the tradition of storytelling, cultural practices, and beliefs through his work.
Throughout his career, Clayton has received 9 awards, 6 grants, and 9 major commissions. He was awarded the Emerging Artist of the Year by the City of Barrie’s Department of Culture in 2014. Mr. King has served his community of Beausoleil First Nation as the Douglas Lake Trail Enhancement Coordinator, their Treaty and Historical Researcher, Elected Band Councillor, and most recently as their Heritage and Cultural Coordinator, all the while running his small business White Bear Art for the last 10 years.
Mr. King continues to contribute to the education sector in Simcoe County and the surrounding area by facilitating Anishinaabek cultural and historical workshops. In the past, he has served on many boards and committees ranging from local to national levels.
Clayton was born and raised in St. Catharines, Ontario, and graduated with a Fine Art Advanced Diploma from Fanshawe College in 2010. Mr. King is of Potawatomi Anishinabek descent and is a member of the Beausoleil First Nation, otherwise known as Chimnissing. |
