With an emphasis on texture, movement, and the play of light and shadow, Laura Clark’s work has been described as “visually arresting while possessing a serene soulfulness”. A graduate of Auburn University’s Fine Art program, Laura was introduced to hand-building with clay while pursuing a concentration in painting. She was immediately captivated with this medium and the opportunity it allowed for expressing her artistic vision in three-dimensional form. Her continued education abroad further solidified a love of sculpture, art history and a particular fascination with the elaborate draping characteristic of classical sculpture. A similar elegant fluidity characterizes her contemporary sculptural work.

Laura particularly embraces the collaborative process between artist, designer and client and finds great joy in the personal relationships formed through commissions. “I want those I create for to be deeply connected to their finished piece. Accomplishing that requires a degree of knowingness between artist and collector. I consider a commission both a high calling and a humbling invitation.” She frequently works with interior designers to create custom works to compliment their clients’ homes or enhance commercial spaces.

Prior to beginning her journey as a professional artist, Laura lived for brief stints in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Her oversees travel and the memories of these experiences continue to inspire her present-day work. Laura and her husband, Will, have been married for 20 years and raise their two beautiful children a short distance from the home where she grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. 

Laura is represented by Buckhead Art & Company in Atlanta, Georgia, and Quogue Gallery, located at the East End of Long Island, New York. Quogue Gallery was the first to introduce Laura’s work to the Hamptons and the international art community at the 2019 Art Market + Design Fair. Her work has been featured in Luxe, Milieu, Southern Living, Better Homes & Gardens, The Cottage Journal, Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles, Birmingham Home & Garden, and the hardbound book, Cottage Style.
