A painter of landscapes in Tonalist and Impressionist styles, Clark Voorhees was the first of the Connecticut Impressionists to discover Old Lyme. In the spring of 1896, he was riding his bicycle and as an artist discovered the area, which later became a famous artists’ colony whose members gathered at the boarding house run by Florence Griswold. He spent that summer there, and by 1904, had married and moved permanently to Old Lyme.
