Animation, Artworks, Storyboards & Backdrops by Scott Clark

Being an independent artist for most of my life has been a real trip, and I do like to travel! I left college after two years and thumbed to western Canada via Boston, and Houston. The month long Museum tour brought me up to speed from what I slept through in the art history lectures, and the road gave me a thirst for more. It takes time to develop as an artist and the same as a person. 15 years, a dozen jobs and as many towns I found myself settled on Pender Island making independent animation and landscaping to feed the habit and pay the bills. Many trips to places other than my studio have always inspired my paintings and film work. Whirly-gig, an animation in progress is a good example of that. Also of late I have been involved with live performance of various theatrical approach that incorporate projection. My personal work is about showing the beauty I see and feel from the natural and man made world around us and to lend people to another way of seeing. Perseverance has a way of bringing things together. I am off on new adventures, geographically and artistically, continuing my personal development, taking everything I’ve learned, moving forward mindfully and open.
