Clare Jaque Vasquez is an emerging Aboriginal artist from Gomeroi/Kamilaroi nation. Clare grew up in both an urban environment in her younger years and then on her Grandmother’s Country in north west New South Wales in a small country town near the mission and station where her family lived. Clare’s art gently showcases unique memories and moments from being raised with three generations of Gomeroi/Kamilaroi women under the one roof navigating the after effects of change.

Clare's works capture stories and weaving practices in a raised textural form leveraging natural and contemporary art tools and to apply texture. These tools include different natural brushes, fingertips, branches and sticks through to natural fibres and are specifically used to connect the works with Country and self. Clare works in layers to uniquely apply acrylic paint and impasto textural mediums which appear to be etched, embedded and scarred onto the canvas.

Clare is currently represented by Vivien Anderson Gallery, in Naarm (Melbourne).
