Mary Clarke is originally from the East End of London and has travelled extensively. Through her travels and living in London, Canterbury, Papua New Guinea and now Ireland, Mary has been influenced by colour and the visually tactile. As a process artist who takes a multimedia approach, Mary uses a variety of mediums such as paint, photo montage, cloth, photography and various printing techniques. She seeks to achieve a consistent level of unique, interesting images that portray simplicity and an oriental stillness. Mary finds different ways of presenting and adapting her work to give depth and hidden layers to the finished artwork.
