Siupik's work is distinctive in her use of negative space to define various features of her human and animal subjects. Her prints can now be found at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, and the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto. Her work was included in two Povungnituk Print Collections - 1965 and 1966 - as well as various exhibits in Canada during the 1980s.
