Tom Clark has come back to the United States where he was born and raised.
In addition to creating mosaics at their Monasteries in Oklahoma and Zakynthos, Greece, the Fathers of AthoPetra also offer mosaic courses several times throughout the year. Two of the Fathers also served as consultants at Dumbarton Oaks Center for Byzantine Studies in Washington, D. Irene at a Palliative Care Center in Bucharest as well as onto the Church of the Holy Archangels in Northern Bucharest. And more recently, they installed 3 exterior mosaics onto the Chapel of St. George in Shreveport, Louisiana, commissioned in honor of the church’s 100-year anniversary. They recently installed 5 exterior mosaics for the Greek Orthodox Church of St. They are very honored to have works in permanent collections in Greece, Italy, Vatican, Georgia, Norway, Lebanon, Romania and the U.S. The Fathers have taught Mosaic courses at the Greek Cultural Center in Trieste, Italy Nordal, Norway in Kitzbühel, Austria and in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Also while studying, they were awarded 1st place for several of their pieces including a competition in honor of the Gyro d’Italia bike race. While studying Classical, Byzantine and contemporary mosaics at Friuli, they were accepted to apprentice in the Micromosaic Laboratory of the Vatican besides Micromosaics, they did restoration work in St.
Works from the scholars of The Mosaic School of Friuli are featured worldwide-from The Dome of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem to the Subway Station of Ground Zero. Their professors were delighted to have the sons of a renowned Byzantine Iconographer in their school and town, known as “The City of Art and Re-birthplace of Mosaic”.
Upon high school graduation, with the Blessing of their lifelong Spiritual Father and Elder, Archimandrite Dionysios, it was natural for them to attend the Mosaic School of Friuli, Italy, foremost in the world. Tom and Sophia’s sons have studied, volunteered and participated in many programs of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America-Hellenic College, Ionian Village, IOCC and Crossroads to name a few. Through their high school years, they apprenticed with their dad in the United States in the various churches he was commissioned to paint, including St. One of their pieces is in a permanent exhibit in the International Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland. They attended the Hellenic Children’s Art Museum of Athens weekly and received many awards. From this and all the other inspirations and experiences in their lives, AthoPetra was Blessed and born.Īll five sons, four of whom are monks, have also had formal art training from their early elementary school years. Their colors are the brilliant glass hues forged in the furnaces of Venice and Murano as well as the earth-colored stone found in the riverbeds at the foothills of the Alps and the regions of Umbro and Sienna. From this they found their own artistic expression using the tools of mosaicists. Tom and Sophia Clark’s sons grew up surrounded by sketchbooks, canvas, easels, wood panels, gesso, brushes, paint, glues, gold leaf and splattered colors.
