Martin Clarkson is a British artist living and working in Nottinghamshire, England.

Clarkson Studied Fine Art Painting at Loughborough University under Colin Smith and John Atkin. Over the last decade, he has worked on various creative ventures which include working as a painting technician at Loughborough University; studying at the Santa Catalina Art School in South Spain; curating and showing work in various exhibitions around the Nottingham arts and cultural scene; and hosting talks and educational workshops as accompaniment to exhibitions or as a visiting artist to schools or colleges.

From 2018 to present, Clarkson has shifted his approach from working primarily within a studio context to painting En Plein Air, focusing first hand on observing the wild landscapes of the British Archipelago.

Clarkson has exhibited internationally over the years, and most recently was invited to show his ‘Ancient Oaks of Sherwood' series as a guest artist with 'The Obejvak Project Space' in central Prague.
