The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute

America needs reminded of its heroes. I have a new grandson. What will he know of the proud heritage that is ours, what will he know of President Reagan, if we do not teach him?
It is this passion combined with 35 years experience as an award winning illustrator that drives my desire to create a portrait of Ronald Reagan.

Art can make a positive difference, communicating in a way that motivates and inspires the viewer, generating thought and conversations. President Reagan’s leadership at a time our country needed it can still encourage us today. Art, possibly more than any other medium can powerfully share that message.

I have taken the liberty and invested the time to create a sample style that uses words from President Reagan’s life to build layers of a portrait. It is my hope the sample might spark some ideas or fit any needs the Ronald Reagan Foundation might have in sharing its message with the world.

It would be an honor to visit with you about such a worthy project.

All art speaks.
My art will champion Ronald Reagan’s legacy and a positive, conservative voice for our country.

An opportunity to talk together about the possibilities, potential and details of creating impactful artwork for The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute would be most welcome. Contact me and let’s make a difference.

Sincerely,

Clint Hansen, Artist

Previous Works

-

I am honored to have worked with Clint Hansen, a very talented and dedicated artist. We worked with Clint on my husband’s official portrait for the Budget Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives. This was an unusual project and while we had our pick of several nationally known portrait artists, we wanted an artist who was a native Iowan. We were not sure where to start. But we found Clint and the very complicated became easy. It also a fun coincidence and added benefit that he was of Danish heritage! Clint listened closely to us for our vision for the piece and consulted with us several times along the way. He was extremely professional, a dream to work with and ridiculously talented. We were thrilled with the portrait. We also have several other pieces of Clint’s hanging in our home, which I believe is the truest testament to his artistic talent. We are thankful to know him every day as we walk past and enjoy his art in our home. He would make an outstanding Artist Ambassador for the State of Iowa.
