About Jacki Clark Arts
​
​I’m driven by the power of art to reach beyond words, speaking directly to the brain and soul. My work explores how art shapes our health and well-being, acting as a super effective preverbal language that tells stories in ways words cannot.
While I come from a fine art background, I’m now delving into immersive mediums like VR and AR, drawing viewers in to connect more deeply. By weaving in principles of NLP, CBT, and neuroscience, I’m pushing the boundaries of what art can do—transforming it into a tool for healing, connection, and storytelling.
Neuroaesthetics is a new science that proves the effect that art has on us; a rich multifaceted language that can change lives and why over thousands of years, it has been an essential factor for all cultures.
​
Immersive art and virtual reality are like stepping into a dream, where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur. They pull you in, making you a part of the story rather than just watching from the outside. It’s not just about looking—it’s about feeling, moving through the space, and experiencing the emotions firsthand. In these worlds, you don’t need words to understand. You can walk through a memory, or an idea, and it sinks into you deeper than a painting on a wall ever could.
VR lets you twist time and space, allowing stories to unfold in ways that break the usual rules. You can be here and there at once, close up or far away, all in the blink of an eye. It’s like touching something you could only imagine before. And because you’re so wrapped up in it, the connection is immediate and powerful—something you feel in your bones.
For those who can’t always find the right words, it’s a new language. It lets you communicate through emotion, movement, and presence. It gets under your skin, into your subconscious, and helps stories become something lived, not just told
