Roy and Amanda Clark are originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, and now reside in Naples, Florida. Together they are Clark Art Studio. Art professors from around the world have said, “What they are doing has never been done. Their work is truly original and beautiful.” “My work is limited without the input of my husband. Roy is continuously challenging me to embrace my gifts, broaden my color pallet and expand what I thought were my limitations. Our hope and desire is to create meaningful work that inspires. Acrylic on brass creates a soft yet dynamic tension. This is often how I feel. I long for a complete release of all the stress, yet I know that it is many times, within the grind, that there brings about a new beauty. I have turned over a part of my work to my husband and together we have created something that reflects who we are and the world we live in.” “It all began in 2009 with the launch of ArtPrize, the world’s largest art contest in Grand Rapids, Michigan. With over 1,000 entries that first year, I knew we needed to do something different. Amanda was painting these wonderful trees that were tall and colorful, filled with reds, yellows and oranges. We wanted her work to stand out. I knew that if we did something on metal I could get it to reflect light. Combining the idea of metal and the colors that she was painting late night, I sat up in bed and said ‘I know what we are going to do! I’m going to get you the biggest pieces of brass and we can hang them from wires from the ceiling and you’re going to paint your trees on them. And I’m going to grind out shapes and shine light on them.’ She said, ‘Go to bed, I’m not painting on brass.’ It’s one of the few arguments that I’ve won, and I am so glad I did.” Their work has been purchased and placed around the world. It has been in the Christie’s Fine Art, DeBruyne Fine Art, Clark Private Reserve Gallery, Edison State College through the VonLiebig Art Museum, Fifth Avenue Design, Sweet Art Gallery, Rolls-Royce Show Room, Port Royal Jewelers, Grand Rapids Christian High School, Netech Company, Pregnancy Resource Centers, as well as their own studio in Naples, Florida, called Clark Art Studio. They have volunteered their time at art shows and have donated to many fundraisers in Naples. They have been recognized in Modern Luxury Interiors of South Florida and Naples Illustrated magazines, Fox 4 Channel, and a number of other publications.
