BACKGROUND AND STUDIES
Brad Clark's passion for art comes largely from a rich heritage of artists and patrons of the arts. Brad's maternal grandfather, Norman Hart, was a plein air artist and custom frame maker residing in Long Beach and Snowcrest, Mt. Baldy, California. Brad's paternal grandfather, Herald R. Clark was a patron of the arts and (among numerous other noteworthy accomplishments), was responsible for acquiring a significant collection of Maynard Dixon paintings and sketches for Brigham Young University. Brad's mother, Marjorie Jean Hart Clark, is an accomplished painter in her own right, with her medium of choice being porcelain.
Largely self taught, Brad has been painting for 26 years while pursuing a career in real estate and real estate related services. He has studied the style of the French impressionists and the early California plein air painters. Brad's artistic style is the result of these studies and influences.
