Barbara Clarke

Barbara has lived on Nantucket for 27 years so is almost able to claim local stature. Originally from a small fishing town north of Dublin, Ireland, she knew as soon as she stepped off the ferry and breathed in the salt air that this was home. With a strong background in the arts, Barbara has held careers as a Nantucket Basket Weaver and as a Jeweler but has settled into the field she has always known and loved: photography.

Barbara lives with her contractor husband, Carl Clarke of Clarke Brothers Construction and her 3 boys and dog.  She also serves on the board of the Artist Association of Nantucket and is a passionate voice for island artists.
