Jaq Grantford has had a love of art all her life with a particular fascination with portraits and people.
It’s the essence of a subject that intrigues her. What is the spark in a person’s eyes, gesture, or posture that defines them?
And how can those subtle nuances be translated onto the canvas or the clay?
She has participated in numerous exhibitions and has won many awards, most recently the Kennedy Art Prize. Her work is held in the MEAM Museum (European Museum of Modern Art in Spain), the National Gallery of Victoria and many other collections. Jaq is is also a finalist in the 2022 Art Lovers Australia Prize.
In January of 2022, her work will be etched onto a nanofiche, and it will be part of a time capsule to the moon with the Lunar Codex along with 3000 other works of art, music and literature. Looking up at the moon will never be the same again!
