Sam Clark is a ceramic artist who received his degree in Graphic Design with a minor in Drawing from Delta State University.  Later receiving a Masters Degree from Savannah College of Art and Design in sequential art. 

Growing up with a mother who is also an artist, Sam says he has always had an interest in making art.  He works in clay for several reasons: "you can work fast in clay and it is very easy to manipulate... You can build up, tear away, reform and reshape quickly.  It is an amazing material."  Using clay Sam makes narrative art; telling an unspoken story with a certain gesture, look, mood or stance.  Sam believes the energy used while creating remains in the work, therefore leaving a trace of human touch.  Imagination is a key element in Sam's work for without imagination the sculpture remains a lump of clay.  "If the story is to unfold there must be interaction between the viewer and the work of art.  I like the idea of that dependence; the creature or animal gets its life from the imagination of the one who beholds it.
