Biographical Information
Willard Clark (1910-1992) came to Santa Fe in 1928 with a special talent for creating woodcut imagery. This developed into a career for Clark, which was interrupted for 30 years while he worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory as a master tool and die machinist. Clark retired from there in 1979 and returned to Santa Fe where he resumed his art as a printmaker until his death in 1992.
David Farmer attained a PhD at the University of Texas at Austin. Throughout his career he worked with rare books and special collections. He taught master's level courses at Southern Methodist University and was director of the DeGolyer Library at SMU Dallas. After retirement, he relocated to Taos, New Mexico
