Susan Clark’s career is based on the development of creativity.  She is a visual artist with an educational background including Yale University and the Whitney Museum of American Art Independent Study Program. Her work has been shown in New York, Connecticut and most recently at the Historic Arkansas Museum in Little Rock.  Her work is in numerous private and corporate collections including Stephens Inc, also in Little Rock. 

Susan is very engaged outside of her studio working with others to realize their full creative potential.  She has taught visual art at every level from preschool to adult, most recently at Hendrix College and the University of Central Arkansas. Her interest in self-expression goes beyond the visual arts.   She has a long involvement with the personal development field. For four years, Susan led seminars in personal growth for Landmark Education, a company selected by Harvard Business School as a case study.  The dramatic also comes naturally to Susan.  For many years she was involved with the Actors Institute in New York.  The Institute was an organization for actors by actors and ran the highly acclaimed Mastery Workshop, which was attended by top professionals including Tommy Tune, Sigourney Weaver, and Ted Danson.  Susan worked behind the scenes logistically and was the stage manager for a production of The Broadway Jukebox, a cabaret show based on forgotten musicals.

Recently Susan was able to combine all of her interests into one effort, Summer Stories, a program for elementary children that combined visual art, literature, and drama to tell narratives.  It was conceived as a community-service project for Hendrix students, who design, ran, and nurtured the program themselves. The course was an opportunity for all involved to feel the joy of self-expression, nurturing others, and the drive toward excellence—just the way Susan likes it.
