"It is impossible for me to escape the observation that Sue Clark captures the essence of the subject in her photographs. It might be the eyes of a person, a horse, a doll or even the wildlife. In other cases, it is the jeweled hands of a wood carver. Then again, there are the details in the grille work and trim of vehicles that appear in her Automotive gallery, and it is even in the extractions of emotional features in her Moods gallery. The ability to reflect this basic essence of insight and emotion in her work sets her apart from those who rely on the panorama or the spectacle to grabs one’s attention. You can feel the personal connection to the subjects she portrays, and you find yourself beginning to know them too."

"Sue Clark's photography seems inspired by the works of such artists as Dorothea Lange, Cartier-Bresson, and Weston. She uses background, light and composition, to capture the essence and mystery of the colorful individuals in her viewfinder, in a way that almost looks like the portraiture of John Singer Sargent. She is a force to be reckoned with, in the world of both color and black-and-white photography."

World Champion Trainer Wendy Washeleski:
As a long time owner, competitor, trainer and instructor of world champions in the equine industry, I have been viewing professional equine photo's for over 30 years now. I have seen them through many different lenses, and I must say that I am touched, moved, and inspired by your equine photo's. Your ability to capture the horses true character, heart, and soul, is a gift to horse enthusiasts, and more importantly the "HORSE"! Thank you.

There is something different about the west; the air is rarer, the handshakes firmer, the culture deeper than her canyons. The imagery is as solid as the Rockies, as enduring as the vast windblown deserts.Because of my mode of dress, I am often given to portray one of the Earp brothers. This led my friend Al Freehauf and I to meet Sue on a recent trip to Tombstone, where we were 
introduced to her sunny personality and unique, artistic talents.
Beauty is said to be in the eye of the beholder, and when the beholder is Sue Clark, one may view through her lens, the soul of the west, where is bred a passion for individual strength and a loyalty, to the timelessness of the land.

"To say her work 'POPS' is putting it lightly." Sue Clark's vibrant photography pulled me in, instantly. Growing up in the Southwest, and working with art in Santa Fe all of my life, I have been exposed to endless southwest imagery, from paintings to photography. Sue Clark's work is captivating. The compelling colors in 'Ghost Ranch', the mood in the equine photo "Close To You", and the spirit of her subjects in the portraits she has captured with her camera, leave me breathless…numb. There isn't a collection of Sue's photographs, that I don't find alluring in any way.
