About the Artist
Born in 1993 in Alice Springs hospital, Clarise Tunkin is a Pitjantjatjara artist from a highly recognised family of artists. Her great-grandfather was Jimmy Baker (c.1915-2010) a foundation artist at Kanpi where his family were the traditional owners for the outstation and its lands. Clarise’s grandmother Kay Baker and mother Teresa Baker have continued the very strong artistic tradition of the family.
Clarise rose to prominence in 2015 when her painting Minma Marlimu was selected as a finalist in the Telstra Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award which is held each year at the Art Gallery and Museum of Northern Territory in Darwin.
Clarise remembers visiting Malilu’s Cave with Teresa Baker at age fifteen, learning from her mother about country and the sacred stories associated with it just as Teresa learnt from her mother.
Clarise now divides her time between her home in Kanpi and Alice Springs. Clarise is proud of her heritage and travels back home to take part in traditional women’s business there.
Like her mother and grandmother before her, Clarise’s works are highly sort after and cements her reputation as a rising talent in the Indigenous art sector.
