"The Jester"
Rocklin Jubilee 2000 Mardi Gras Jester
A one-of-a-kind saw blade sculpture by The Clarks
For decades, the Rocklin Jubilee was the city’s signature community celebration, a weekend of parades, music, food, and family fun at Johnson-Springview Park. Each year carried a new theme, bringing together local businesses, artists, and volunteers to transform the park into a place of imagination. The Clarks participated in many of these over the years.
In the year 2000, the Jubilee’s theme was Mardi Gras. Bright colors, festive masks and carnival energy filled Rocklin. That year one standout creation was a massive Mardi Gras jester mask, designed and built by Michael and Dawn Clark by using hundreds of reclaimed saw blades; a nod to Rocklin’s granite, quarry, lumber heritage as well as their business M.S. Clark Roofing.
This sculpture became part of the Jubilee itself, raised and lowered by Michael Clark himself with his own forklift during the festivities. Many you attended still remember this!

Holly Clark
Holly Clark grew up in downtown Rocklin, always helping her family businesses throughout the years. While attending Sierra College she did roofing estimates and was involved in many community service organizations. When she decided to join the college newspaper she had no idea she would fall in love with photography.
After graduating she began to operate her own photography business, taking thousands of photos of weddings, events, portraits, pets and places. Her passions then took her to the Bay Area for a few years, where she grew a career at Peet’s Coffee and Tea. Family eventually brought her back to Rocklin. Over the last decade she has managed many stores, traveled to accounts all over, learning how to train and inspire large teams.
Like many others, the Clark Family continues to pivot through strokes, pandemics, death and whatever else is thrown their way. She is now getting back into photography and is enjoying exploring the "Bob Ross" method of oil painting along with learning watercolors.

For over 20 years I have been sporadically teaching and tutoring in art while working as a commissioned artist. Having grown up in the art rich foothills of Placer County, right in the heart of Loomis, CA, it was easy to fall in love with all forms of art and allow my skills to grow surrounded by so many talented local artists in the area. Coming from an artistic family with professional artists who came before me, it came naturally to do art but teaching it was a learned skill. I started with adults and then incorporated little artists into the mix, noticing that as my pupils got older, their confidence grew smaller. This was a problem that needed fixing. I started hosting local paint nights and found repeat faces and a strong desire for more individualized teaching, that's when Campos Creative's was born.
I'm a busy working wife and homeschooling mom of 2. In my spare time I enjoy being with my family and friends, exploring the outdoors and trying new experiences. I challenge myself to draw something every day, even when I don't feel like it. My hobbies include fine dinning, movies, training my dogs, history and cooking.
