Artist Jordan Clarke explores her mixed-race identity through paintings of self-portraiture. This series looks at being “in-between” as both a physical and psychological state for bi-racial women of the 21st century, where there is constant pressure to assume predetermined racial and gender roles created by society.
Clarke most recently received a grant from the Ontario Arts Council. In 2008, she studied at the Academy of Realist Art in Toronto, completing the Drawing curriculum in 2009. In 2007, she graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design, where she received a BFA majoring in Drawing and Painting. While attending OCAD, she received the opportunity to participate in the off-campus studies program in Florence, Italy from 2005-2006.
