"The final products of my mind are usually more representational portraits and figures … when I utilize more of my heart, it evokes an emotional response."
"I can trace my interest in printmaking to a college instructor who said my pen drawings reminded him of Albrecht Durer's woodcuts. Over the years since then I have come to appreciate printmaking as an extension of — and improvement upon — drawing."
"The pieces are a result of an inner impulse and do not depend on much premeditation or preparatory sketches. Throughout the drawing session I try to stay connected to this directing 'mood' and express it with my brush and pen."
You can meet photographer Everitt Clark and the artists behind "Small Works" and "Large Works" at the gallery's opening reception tonight, November 14, at 6:30 pm.
