Clark with Jimmy Bursenoes’ “Collection of Oysters”; Clark studying Suzy Schultz’s figurative paintings.
Throughout the month of July, Clark Gallery will also be hosting John Beerman and privately selling his work. Beerman, whose work is featured in the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, was honored when a piece of his work was the first painting placed in the White House by the Obama family. Being surrounded by beautiful collections of art would seem to be a life of luxury for any artist and gallery owner, but things are not always as they seem. “For much of my life I romanticized the life of an artist,” said Clark. “I never realized it could be so lonely and competitive.

It’s a tough gig and owning a gallery isn’t much easier. In this area, I essentially have four months. Luckily, I get back to Aspen where I run McHugh Gallery in the winter. I have a show there this January. I’m very blessed that I have such supportive and loyal patrons. I am so thankful that I am able to do what I love and remain focused on providing beautiful art to the people of the High Country.” For more information on Clark Gallery, visit www.clarkgallerync.com or stop by the gallery, located at 393 Shawneehaw Lane, Banner Elk, NC 28604.
