Clark Mitchell (b. 1951) is a mid-career artist who is considered one of California's finest and most accomplished pastel painters. He began showing with the John Pence Gallery in 1992 and has staged four solo exhibitions in San Francisco. In addition, he has shown with the following museums and galleries: The Haggin Museum in Stockton, CA; California Museum of Art, Santa Rosa, CA; Pastel Society of the West Coast; and the Pastel Society of America, New York, NY.

Mitchell's California paintings have been selected for numerous public collections, including Columbia University, New York, NY; Avondale Golf Club, Palm Desert, CA; Arthur Anderson & Co., San Francisco, CA; Sherwood Insurance, San Francisco, CA; Western Bank Headquarters, White Plains, NY; Korbel Winery, Guerneville, CA; Lyeth Vineyard & Winery, Geyserville, CA; and Monterey Vineyard, Gonzalez, CA.

Mitchell's pastel paintings often depict the California wine country; one of the most alluringly picturesque places on earth. Continuing the rich tradition of California landscape painting from the 1880's onward, Mitchell creates pastel paintings rich in the colors and textures of the California countryside and filled with the kind of detail that make his work stand out from others.

His prices range from $900 to $18,000 depending on size and complexity.
