Muffy Clark Gill has been creating art since she was a young child. A pivotal moment in her life came during a visit to Kampala, Uganda, East Africa when she was in high school. She was taken to an art gallery by a friend and introduced to an exhibition featuring art created in the wax and dye resist painting process known as batik. Intrigued by the results, she returned to the US to experiment with this unique art form. Her first paintings were crude, but she won a Scholastic Art Award for a simple batik she had done painting an elephant!
From there, she attended Morris County, N.J. Vocational/Technical School where she studied Commercial Art. She augmented those skills by attending Boston University where she was classically trained as an artist and then went on to study Graphic Design and Marketing. Over the years, she has won numerous state and national awards and has been featured in both international and local publications in print and online. Her work has been shown in numerous museums and galleries, and on display in the 22nd Floor Art Gallery of the Florida State Capital building in Tallahassee, Florida. She has artwork in the collections of public institutions including colleges, museums, and courthouses, including: the office of the Florida Secretary of State, the Marco Island Historical Museum, Florida Gulf Coast University, and the Volusia County, Florida Courthouse.
