This week, we’re highlighting another resident artist from Art Enables, a nonprofit organization that provides opportunities and experiences to artists with disabilities. We purchased original artwork by five talented artists, and we are honored to share their stories.
Artist Marti Clark spends a lot of time creating artwork at Art Enables and at home.
She gravitates toward creating bright, colorful artwork featuring animals and birds.
Her process always starts with a sketch, which is then transferred to canvas.
Image Description: Marti Clark smiles at the camera.
"As a resident artist, my artwork is included at Art Enables shows and special functions," Clark says. Art Enables provides ample opportunities for people to see her artwork.
Though Clark joined in late 2021, she has already experienced success in selling her artwork.
"I sold three [pieces of] artwork in one day," she shares excitedly.
Learn more about Art Enables by listening to our new podcast episode of Health Affairs This Week, which features Tony Brunswick, executive director of Art Enables.
