Artist’s Statement

Nicholas K. Clark’s artwork is a vibrant exploration of color, ranging from rich jewel tones to metallic and pearl finishes, often punctuated by bold reds and subtle hints of yellow. His pieces embody a deep sense of optimism, reflecting his fearless approach to color and his intuitive ability to create harmonious compositions.

Through the meticulous layering and sculpting of acrylics or oils, Nicholas achieves a distinctive depth and texture in his work. His inspiration stems from personal experiences — family, friends, historical events, and music — all of which influence his artistic vision. He finds particular fulfillment in portraying notable figures, capturing the essence of a living being through intricate details: the delicate articulation of a hand, the expressive story told through the eyes, and the ability to convey movement and emotion with a single brushstroke. These challenges fuel his creative passion, making each piece a testament to his artistic journey.

Artist’s Bio

Nicholas K. Clark’s artistic journey began with the simplest of tools — a blank canvas, a pencil, and a pen. It was in this raw, unfiltered process that he discovered a profound sense of release, transforming empty space into visually compelling compositions that offer an escape into aesthetic beauty.

Over time, his artistic practice expanded to include acrylics, oils, and watercolors, deepening his connection to color as a fundamental element of his work. Today, color serves as the foundation of his creative expression, appearing across a diverse range of subjects within his portfolio. Through masterful manipulation of color — both in its presence and deliberate absence — Nicholas communicates a deeply personal and emotional connection to his art, inviting viewers to experience the world through his distinctive lens.

Tom Pevear is a Tulsa-based guitarist and singer who uses his adept fingerpicking style and vibrant singing to revitalize old blues, folk, bluegrass and country songs.

‘You don’t truly know how to play a song until you’ve played it in front of people. Even if there is only one other person watching,’ says Bostonian turned Okie guitar player and singer Tom Pevear. “Old blues, folk, gospel and country songs are living breathing things, in that they are passed down from person to person for each musician to leave a mark on.”
