Susan Clark

Louisville, MS

Clay / Sculpture

Guild member since 1988

Susan’s work has been called humor in clay. She sculpts miniatures based on Southern people, places, and events, often taking her inspiration from the literature and photography of Eudora Welty. One of Mississippi’s most well-know and admired artists, Susan creates works of art that reflect life as she sees it around her. She describes her work as seeing humor in life and putting it in clay, just inspiration and ideas... everyday, real life situations and circumstances. Her sculptures are painstakingly created and, although small, they are so realistic that you can almost recognize some of them as people you know in places where you have been.
