Ann Clarke, associate professor of studio arts in the School of Art and dean emerita of the College of Visual and Performing Arts, was featured in the article “Lessons of Empathy” on the website of Dementia Spring, which supports artists and arts organizations who raise awareness about dementia and inspire creativity in people with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Clarke created a series of work, compiled over the course of eight years, centering on the topic of being a caregiver for her mother, who had dementia.
