Cynthia Lewis Clark, born, raised, and still living in Orem, Utah, loves teaching, creating, learning, reading, and especially playing with wax (encaustics). Mark-making in wax through layers of color and texture examines a visual vocabulary of the soul in Clark’s encaustic paintings. Often inspired by literature or the thoughts and emotions of women, layers of wax and texture emerge and disappear as they become a path or portal into something more. Fusing with high heat and melting layers into one another creates a unique image of process and possibility.
A veteran teacher, Cindy Clark taught advanced placement art, drawing, and painting for 30 years, and currently works with prospective art educators. She has been recognized as outstanding art educator for Utah, received the Arthur Watkins educator of the year award, received the UAEA Lifetime Achievement Award, and received a national endowment for the arts scholarship. She has participated in many juried shows and won several awards. Currently, she is on the artist roster for the Utah Division of Arts and Museums where she has taught many workshops on encaustic painting to teachers and students throughout the state. In addition, she works with the Beverly Taylor Sorenson Arts Learning Program as a mentor and leader for elementary art educators, and with adults seeking to further their education through the Pathways Program. |
