Eliot Candee Clark was born in New York in 1883. The son of tonalist painter Walter Clark, Eliot's artistic talent manifested at an early age. He exhibited works at the New York Water Color Club and the National Academy all by the age of thirteen.

Clark traveled Europe, but rather than settle in New York, he moved to Albemarle, Virginia in 1932. He was an influential impressionist painter whose landscapes were steeped in his spiritual studies of Eastern philosophies.

Clark exhibited extensively throughout his lifetime. He was also a gifted instructor, teaching at the National Art Club, the Art Students League and New York City College.
