Painting with Parkinson’s, Healing Brush Strokes
By Wayne Clark
Wayne has been a Kansas Artist for over 60 years. Wayne Clark is as an accomplished painter and a devoted family man, and he is an inspiration to those who know and love him. Wayne’s work as a painter is inspired by nature, but it is also enriched by his experience as a father of seven children. “Most people have only one black sheep, I have a whole herd of them,” he jokes.
Here are some video’s of the artist:

The Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum – 204 S. Main
MUSEUM EVENT: FINAL FRIDAY VISUAL ART EXHIBITS
Friday, February 27th 2015 from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m.
Celebrate our local built environment with the paintings of Wichita Artist Bill Goffrier. Here is an artist using the old world (old school?) technique of painting in the open air from direct observation (en plein air). The art work featured is from the artist’s ongoing series of oil paintings entitled “Authenti-City” which seek out and capture fresh perspectives of Downtown Wichita. This work, large and small is displayed together for the first time. Artist Bill Goffrier says he “will on hand to provide the backstory”. These works will be available for sale in the Museum’s gift shop; a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Museum.
More Art – The Museum exhibits on all four floors will also be open. Be sure to see the special visual arts exhibit Wichita’s Modern Art Galleries of Mid-Century – Closing in March.
Wichita, Kansas emerged as an American art center during the 1920’s when citizens organized to make visual art part of our local culture. By the 1950s, Wichita’s avant-garde abstract artist set-up galleries of their own downtown; first the “indeX Gallery”, then the “Bottega Gallery”. Learn about the art and artists who forded new territory and brought their art out to the general public in the heart of the city.
Admission is free and open to the public for this Final Friday Art Event
The Historical Museum was founded in 1939 and today occupies Wichita’s original City Hall, an accredited museum open to the public six days a week with four floors of exhibits featuring local history.
