Lark's “Reflections” is part of the exhibition series, “Tête-à-Tête With Nature.”
Born in the family of a Russian-Jewish geologist, surrounded by wild nature, beautiful minerals and semi-precious stones, Lark developed from her childhood intimate relationship with the world around her.
“Nature for me is alive, tender, joyful and suffering," Lark writes. "Nature tells me about her feelings and helps me to share mine through art and poetry. She gives me energy, inspiration and healing when I feel physical or emotional pain.”
Using her unique style, composed from meditation and intuition, Lark brings subconscious reflections of nature into her art, inviting viewers to experience its healing powers. Her art also sends an environmental message combatting waste by serving as an example of how new life can be breathed into discarded objects, rekindling a positive future by acting pro-active in the present.
Through workshops, Lark also shares with children and teenagers her transformational process of creating nature-related art. In doing so, she helps youth feel what it is to be part of nature and attune themselves to the ecological issues which dominate our future.
From the beginning fo her art career, Lark’s art caught the attention of art lovers and gained recognition from art jurors including LA Weekly critic Peter Frank, Sweeney Art Gallery director Tyler Stallings, Santa Monica Museum of Art director Lisa Melandri and MOCA curator Alma Ruiz.
Lark’s art has recently been shown at prestigious juried shows including Cultural Identity at the UCLA Kerckhoff Gallery “WCA’s Women Artists on Immigration” at the Korean Culture Center, “Man's Inhumanity To Man” at Brand Library Art Galleries in Glendale, “Interactions” in Julie Rico Gallery and four man show “In Fluence” at Pharamaka Gallery curated by Peter Frank.
In 2009 an article about Lark's art achievements was published in the Immigrant Magazine describing her work and career.
