Mori Clark Designs Art Throb Cover

Thursday, January 5th, 2012

The cover of the North Shore Art ThrobJan/Feb Street Guide issue was designed by Montserrat College of Art senior Mori Clark ‘12. Mori’s illustration “Starry Gutter” is also featured inside the magazine on page 12. 

About the cover: “Winter Mist” was the result of a collaboration with Montserrat’s Editorial Illustration class taught by Greg Orfanos. This issue, celebrating The Essay, features writers from across the North Shore as they explore the theme ‘Art is Where You Find It,’ which was the prompted concept behind both of Mori’s featured pieces.

Though Mori Clark works largely in digital media, she still considers herself a painter at heart. Originally hailing from Akron, OH, she enjoys fondue, cats and music where she can’t understand the words!

Get your copy today! Find the Jan/Feb issue in boxes on the corner of Salem’s Essex and Washington, Salem Train Depot and Beverly’s Cabot Street in front of Atomic Cafe. Art Throb can also be found in shops and restaurants in Salem, Beverly, Marblehead and Lynn.

Montserrat Draws Italy

Saturday, November 5th, 2011

Montserrat students Peter Bergamo Jr. ’12, Mori Clark, Lana Wheeler, Lindsey Desrosiers, Illustration Instructor Kelly Murphy, Prof. Fred Lynch share their drawing from this summer’s study abroad trip to Viterbo, along with many others who participated in the program.

Each July, Montserrat hosts a four-week residential program affording art students and enthusiasts a unique opportunity to live and study in a country famous for its rich cultural legacy. This past summer, Montserrat traveled to Viterbo, Italy.

The drawings are from a Journalistic Drawing in Italy course, taught by Prof. Lynch, where students developed a series of images in a sketchbook journal, based on their experiences in Italy. Students closely observed, documented, and commented on their investigations of various aspects of Italian life and culture. Classes were held in the Accademia di Belli Arte in Viterbo, about 90 minutes north of Rome.
