Marcia Clark

 

Marcia Clark’s journey toward becoming an artist followed a diverse and dynamic path. As a child, she was always drawn to artistic pastimes and found abundant joy in her creations.

Marcia mastered her craft through intense study with other artist mentors and through rigors of trial and error. She is committed to superior quality and cutting edge design. She works primarily in metals, creating limited editions and open edition kaleidoscopes. Her work is sold in galleries in the United States and Japan, where she enjoys the honor of having her work displayed in the Sendai Kaleidoscope Art Museum. Her limited edition kaleidoscope “Dance... Series II” is a 2005 Niche Award Finalist and she is featured in the March 2005 “Craft Report”. Her belief in the healing qualities of kaleidoscope led Dr. H. Ochi to invite her to write a chapter for his book, “Kaleidoscopes and Healing” published in Japan.

In the spirit of legacy, Marcia enjoys teaching others the art of creating kaleidoscopes. She serves on the adjunct faculty at Touchstone Center for the Arts a well as the Society for Contemporary Crafts in Pittsburgh. She also enjoys mentoring new kaleidoscope artists.

Clark is a member of the Brewster Society and the Pittsburgh Metal Society. She believes that kaleidoscopes are art for mind, body, and spirit, and strives to infuse that vision into every creation.
