Clark Kelly Price

From Thayne, Wyoming, Clark Kelly Price is renowned for his cowboy art. This piece would require a special talent as snow is among the hardest things to portray in art. He laughed when I asked if he understood a blizzard. He said, “I absolutely have no time for this now, but how can I possibly say no.” A few days later he unfolded his vision of Washington stoically in the background, the continental solder without shoes, and blood soaked rags binding his feet with a determined look in his eye accepting the surrender of the Hessian soldier. This will be an emotional center of the display.

Clark was born in Idaho Falls, Idaho in 1945. As a child he loved to draw and even his earliest artistic efforts told stories. His parents Rex T. and Kathryn E. Price recognized his talent and encouraged him to use it. He received his formal education at Ricks College and Brigham Young University, however his deep commitment to the Gospel, his love of the West – - both modern and historical – - and his life experiences have been his greatest resources in developing his talent.

He spent his early years living in a log cabin that his parents had built in Montana. Surrounded by nature, Clark developed an appreciation for the land, as well as an ability to observe the kinds of details that many overlook. He has been able to call upon matter of his observations and experiences to create the art for which he has become known. The subject matter of his work ranges from religious to old west.

Clark Kelly Price says…

"This is not a time for flowery words. Our country and Constitution are in grave trouble. There are but few in our government who are standing by their public oath to defend and uphold our God-given Constitution, and it is hanging by a thread. Our country calls us all to the defense of the principles of our founding fathers and cries for brave and honest individuals who cannot be bought or sold. They are desperately needed in our government to help maintain our free way of life, and not yield to the great political pressures of today’s liberals. Otherwise goodbye to the America this young soldier, and many like him, fought and died for."
