Calvin "Sonny" Clarke

Sonny loves working with wood, three-dimensional objects, and a variety of other mediums and materials. When working in colored pencil or watercolor, his compositions often take on a swirling or radiating maze-like quality. Simple shapes boast a gentle complexity in Sonny’s hand, with subjects formed from layers of curving, parallel lines. Sonny comes across as the quintessential strong, silent type but when you see his smile, you realize he is incredibly warm, welcoming, and playful. In his art, he can surprise in all the same ways.
