Dorothy Clark
Overview
Dorothy Clark is a Navajo silversmith who shares her stamp with her husband Donny Clark. Her documented mark is D D.
Collector's caution: the D D stamp is shared — Hougart documents that Dorothy Clark shares it with her husband Donny Clark, whose adjacent entry states the same in mirror. A piece bearing D D cannot be attributed to either artist alone on the mark's evidence.
