Growing up she was always a creative soul but felt it necessary to follow the path of STEM. She went on to graduate from Spelman College and Georgia Tech, with a background in math and mechanical engineering, she embarked on a career with a legacy airline.

Clark balanced working full-time and pursuing her passion for art, eventually gaining attention on social media leading her to create pieces for celebrities like Chance the Rapper, Saweetie, Taraji P. Henson and Common. Soon after that she would have her art auctioned off at Tina Knowles’ Wearable Art Gala.

Leap of faith

Once the pandemic hit, Clark took a leap of faith and focused her attention on pursuing art on a full-time basis. Not long after her painting, “Harmony,” went viral, taking her following from 33K to nearly 100K
