Alisa E. Clark is an avid acrylic painter, collage maker, and experimental assemblage artist who believes in the power of creative expression—its power to help us find hope as we wait in life’s most challenging places and spaces. Alisa received a B.F.A. from Pratt Institute, and she has an M.S. in education. While her formal training has helped her understand her painting process better, it did not begin her process. Alisa began finding a peaceful “flow” while creating when she could first pick up a crayon. She did what came naturally for many engaged in the artistic process: she created in the “Right Now” while making sense of the past and wondering about the future. Alisa notices that much of her art is made in a liminal space: a place of sitting, waiting, and creating in-between “Yesterday” and “Tomorrow.” She seizes “Right Now” while capturing the past and peeking into “What’s Next.” Alisa's 2D and 3D works invite us on creative, imaginative journeys through time and space. Her experimental works are little adventures that bring a sense of hope to the present moment and invite us to share our own creative process with others.
