Hewitt Canyon Rider

I have known intimately the joy of exploring on horseback the mountain trails of the Superstitions and San Tan Mountains with their warm winds, Javelina and the bounding desert jacks. Red tailed hawks soar above the brilliant Ocotillo and California springtime poppies. My paintings reflect the reverence I feel for this magnificent country and the riders who explore her winding and elusive trails.

My genesis is the set of "Anything Goes", where my father, Les Clark, the first of the Nine Old Men at Disney Studios, met my mother, Miriam Marlin, a 1934 Wampus Baby star. I "grew up" under a movieola at Walt Disney's studio.

I have been part of the High Sonoran Desert for many years, finding inspiration for vibrant and textured paintings of modern riders of the contemporary Southwest. I like to work bold and spontaneous, yet love using gentle and elusive passages of intricate splashes of turquoise, gamboges and vermillion.
