"Artist. Activist. Canadian. There is only one Paraskeva Clark. The daughter of Russian peasants, Paraskeva Plistik was born in St. Petersburg in 1898 and was educated in art during the Russian Revolutions. She took this creative sense, steeped in social awareness, with her when she married Canadian accountant Phillip Clark and accompanied him back to Toronto. It was not long before Paraskeva attracted attention from the Toronto art community."--Provided by publisher.
