June Clark

Born in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City, Clark immigrated to Toronto, Canada in 1968, leaving the United States during a turbulent period of protest and social change. Both cities influence her work, and Clark notes that upon first moving to Toronto, "It was both the discovery of the unfamiliar and memory of the known that captured my imagination." After the move, Clark completed first a BFA in 1988 and then two years later, an MFA. at York University.
