“My job as an artist is to see and translate my visual and emotional moments into pieces that allow the viewer to see, feel and be in my moments giving the viewer pause to reflect on moments in time that I cherished, frozen in pigments.” - Clarence Porter
Clarence Porter worked in the Toronto advertising world as an art director/freelance illustrator- a career spanning 40 plus years. Moving to Hamilton Ontario, Clarence pursued working in soft pastels and after receiving an Honourable Mention in the 2006 Pastel Artist Canada “Purely Pastels” Exhibition, he never looked back.
Clarence is represented by Earls Court Gallery in Hamilton Ontario and his work has been collected locally and internationally. He received his Master Pastel Artist of Canada (MPAC) signature designation from Pastel Artists Canada in 2014 and was elected a Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America (PSA) in 2016. He is also a member of the International Association of Pastel Societies and an Active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists.
Clarence has been teaching pastel workshops at the Dundas Valley School of Art since 2018 and has been an occasional instructor at the Art Gallery of Hamilton and the Aurora Cultural Centre, as well as instructing his own private pastel workshops. Clarence recently retired from teaching figurative painting at Sheridan College in the Visual and Creative Arts Department: eight amazing years of working with young creative minds. He enjoys the interaction with creative minds of all ages.
On today’s episode Clarence talks about his journey from illustrator to pastel artist, the importance of Mrs. Straus and how he came to be in Hamilton, Ontario.
