City of the World

Patty Clark loves the sensation of spreading paint and the challenge of creating art with any object she encounters. Her focus includes acrylics, watercolor, collage, and altered art.  Patty has painted on many surfaces from canvas and paper to wood, ceramics, and gourds.
She began teaching elementary school soon after her two sons entered school, but quickly left the general education classroom for the “Art room.”

While teaching and nurturing K-5 children, Patty could also immerse herself into many of the disciplines and processes of art.
Patty has a B.A. in Elementary Ed, with a minor in Art from U.N.L.V. and a M.A. from Lesley College in Creative Arts in the Curriculum. She studied watercolor under Sue Scheewe Brown.  She has studied and taught acrylic techniques for seventeen years with the Society of Decorative Painters and is a member of Silver State Tole and Decorative Painters in Las Vegas.  She has served in many leadership positions in both Art Educators of Southern Nevada and Silver State Tole and Decorative Painters.  In 2003 she was honored to be selected as Art Educator of the Year in Nevada.  Her work has been exhibited in shows through both these organizations.

Patty has been commissioned to paint for private clients in Las Vegas.
