Know/As I Wake from My Slumber

Acrylic

Artist Statement: My morning vespers have healed me even though I often feel nothing. I don’t need to feel Him. I can hear Him (albeit some days in only a small whisper), and that’s everything. As I wake from my slumber, each reach for God lets me love myself a little bit more and judge myself a little bit less. The greatest gift of my morning time with God is that He is always faithful to answer me as I rise. He answers me in His own way and His own time, and that is so very good.

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.
