Maura Clark

Lecturer

In addition to teaching, Maura Clark is an architectural lighting designer and light fixture designer whose studio work creates language through light. She has experience in lighting design across many typologies of buildings from civic to commercial to residential and has worked on projects all over the world. Her background in fine arts and museum work tethers her to the intersection of function and imagination, and her time as a curatorial fellow at the New Museum helped foster this within her work.

Her educational interests are in teaching about the intricacies and tactile nature of light, how light impacts design, mood and perception and how students can interact with the current professional architectural lighting industry. She is particularly passionate about interpretation of architecture through daylight and artificial light and how light generates form.

She received an MDes in Interior Architecture from RISD and a BFA in Painting and a BA in History from Penn State University’s Schreyer’s Honors College.
