Alisa E. Clark

Answer/My First Thought is God

Artist Statement: If people only followed God if He was always close and tangible, there would be no need for faith. In the quietness of my first morning thoughts, I find comfort in knowing that at the bottom of it all I still believe in it all: God, His son, His spirit, and my personal relationship with all three. My word for all of this is “faith.” I wake and I am met with my faith. If I hear nothing and the morning is cold and dreary, God is real. If I am washed with comfort and a sense of Jesus’s presence as my eyes begin to open, He is real. The truth of my spirituality is not defined by my experience. It is defined by what I know as true in the absence of experience.

Bio: Alisa E. Clark is an avid acrylic painter, assemblage sculptor, and collage artist who enthusiastically explores ways to share her creative process. Alisa communicates the transformative power of art through words and images and believes in releasing the spiritual power of painting to others. From within the creative flow, in-between moments are captured with a paintbrush and the artist’s voice. A better understanding of our “In-Betweens” waits inside Alisa’s paintings.

Alisa received her B.F.A. from Pratt Institute and has an M.S. in education. Alisa's latest book, Painting Memories (2022), explores the ways art can tell the story of our past. Art and Liminal Space (2020), is the compilation of Alisa’s recent work with reflections that explore liminality’s influence upon it. Mindfulness Paintings (2019), encourages everyone to engage in the creative process and always value their process over their product. Whether Alisa is creating, writing, or teaching, her goal is always the same: to share the power of creative process in life’s liminal places and spaces. Visit Alisa’s website, www.LiminalSpaceArt.com, to see Alisa encouraging others to find a channel for creative expression and experience the spiritual benefits of artistic exploration.
