Artist Statement: I was baptized as a child but recommitted my life to Christ as an adult. Faith became new as my head came up from the clear, cool, water. I was so sure of everything. I paint the waters I am in now. They are darker, and I am adrift in them. My brush captures how I am sure of much less, but everything still glows with the truth that God is real. I look at my canvas and see that I am lost, but I also notice that the light floods everything in me and around me. My paintbrush shows me that God can call us to go down deep into the dark waters, but it’s for our faith to be new again. Bio: Alisa E. Clark is an avid acrylic painter 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. Her latest book (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. 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.
