Michael Clark was born in Ayr, Scotland in 1959. He studied at the Edinburgh College of Art from 1979 - 1983. A love of film led him to work for the BBC in Glasgow for six years. On moving to London in 1989 he worked as a freelance Art Director and illustrator; he also began to paint again with much success. He felt the increasing "lure of watercolour dragged across paper and the tangible excitement of materials," and in 1994 he began painting full time

Michael Clark returned to his Scottish homeland in 1999 and continues to paint from his art studio. His paintings are characterised by the use of bold colours and strong brushstrokes. He works mainly in oil. Michael Clark uses texture and light to create striking modern paintings.

Michael loves good food, wine, gardens and sports, all evidenced by his portrayals of these subjects in his extraordinary paintings. Of technique, Michael admits, "I am a messy worker! Working from life, I start my water colour paintings with a charcoal drawing. I then use large watercolour brushes, often on a wet surface, which keeps the painting lively and fresh."

Michael Clark has had many solo and mixed art show. In addition to Red Rag Modern Art Gallery Michael Clark has exhibited at other leading Art Galleries in London, Edinburgh and Glasgow and he has won numerous awards. A member of the Paisley Art Institute and the Glasgow Art Club, his art work is now in many private and public art collections worldwide.
