More on Writing About Artists: Bob Keefer on Mark Clarke

One of the many pleasures of living in Eugene-Springfield is having an excellent daily newspaper. The Register-Guard is a family owned newspaper, surviving into the fourth generation of the Alton Baker family. After growing up on reading The Minneapolis Star & Tribune (when they were morning and evening newspapers) and later working as an intern at the paper, plus several years of reading The Chicago Tribune, I appreciate great newspapers.

Last Thursday in the weekly R-G Arts Section, arts editor Bob Keefer wrote an exceptional story about one of the Northwest's finest artists, Mark Clarke. Having written many stories about local artists over the past year and a half, I especially enjoy Keefer's talent at capturing the essence of the artist and his art.

To see more of Mark Clarke's art, visit the Karin Clarke Gallery website.
