Three widely divergent exhibits are on display at the Emerald Art Center through June 25, beginning with a show called Recent Work of Alan M. Clark, which includes paintings, drawings, illustrations and fine art pieces by the now-Oregon artist.
Here’s his biography, courtesy of the Emerald Art Center:
Author, illustrator, and publisher, Alan M. Clark grew up in Tennessee in a house full of bones and old medical books.
In his thirty-six year freelance illustration career, he has created artwork for hundreds of books, including works of fiction of various genres, nonfiction, textbooks, young adult fiction, and children’s books.
During his twenty-six year freelance writing career, he has authored twenty published books, including fourteen novels, a lavishly illustrated novella, a lavishly illustrated novelette, four collections of fiction, and a nonfiction full-color book of his artwork.
