From the Cairn Studio Website: Dr. Thomas F. Clark is the lead artist for Cairn Studio, LTD. Dr. Clark, the most well-known sculptor in America today, is the most prolific and talented sculptor in the figurine industry, with collectors in every county of every state, plus Europe, Asia (especially Japan!) and Canada.

Tom Clark has gained worldwide recognition for his charming sculptures.  The irresistibly human expressions of his Woodspirits, Mountaineers, Seafaring Characters, and Gnomes have captured the fancy of collectors throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.  “I try to present each statue with a dignity that comes from a life of worth,” says Tom Clark.  Often coins are incorporated into the sculpture as symbols of the character’s “heritage.”

TOM CLARK was born October 19, 1928 in the small town of Elizabethtown, North Carolina. He received a B.A. from Davidson College, a B.D. from Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, Virginia, and his Ph.D. from the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. In 1989 he received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Davidson College (an honor bestowed on his father 40 years earlier!). Dr. Clark was an Associate Professor of Religion at Davidson College for over 25 years, teaching courses in theology and religious art.
