Graham Clarke, artist, author, illustrator and humorist, is one of Britain's most popular and best-selling printmakers. He has created some five hundred images inspired by his love of rural life, history, the sea and his travels.
Born in 1941, Clarke's upbringing in the austerity of war-time and post-war Britain, made him reliant on his own imaginative resources. Responding to the comedy of everyday life, he brings his own unique brand of humour to his interpretation of the past and present through the eyes of the common man.
His work is now held by many collections and museums including the Victoria and Albert Museum, British Museum, Tate Gallery, New York Public Library and the Hiroshima Peace Museum; but what pleases him most is that it is enjoyed in homes all over the world. The most frequent comment being, 'We've had this on our wall for years and we still keep finding something new to enjoy'
