Carmel artist Tom Clark Feautured in NYC Art Show

Tom Clark captures natural images both epic and small, from towering mountains to still-life florals. Through light, shape, and color, timeless and universal emotions evoked by nature are powerfully expressed in his work. Clark’s oil on canvas paintings employ vibrant pigments and rich, generous brush strokes that lend grace to great natural and architectural structures which could otherwise seem imposing. His large compositions inspire a sense of awe and distance, while sunset tones and still-lifes offer warmth and familiarity. This dynamic works to enhance both the natural and urban subject matter in Clark’s work.

Living and sketching near the Sierra Mountains and other areas of Northern California have greatly influenced Clark’s interest in the natural landscape. His inspirations include Italy, particularly Venice, and such artistic greats as Manet and Turner.

Tom Clark was born in Texas and have lived most of his adult life in the Carmel and San Francisco Bay areas of Northern California, and currently reside in San Francisco, and aspires to continue developing his eye in trying to create art with presence, life, and character.
