Will Clark is a passionate soul. Throughout
his adult life he has been an active supporter of minority
rights and a promoter of the arts. Several years ago, as a
result of a chance conversation with his neighbor and friend,
sculptor Frederica Schaefer, he found himself involved with
his current passion, sculpting.
His first piece was cast in 1998. While he has
made an effort to talk to all of the sculptors he can find,
has wandered through many museums taking notes and sketching,
and has received informal input from many of his artist friends,
he really is just self taught. To date all of his work has
been of human figures and busts, and essentially all are representational.
He looks upon this late found activity as a truly surprise
gift, and one that has provided much pleasure.
Will is a retired corporate manager with degrees
in chemical engineering and business management. He currently
lives in Fort Wayne, Indiana with Ginny, his wife of 44 years.
He has four children and seven grandchildren. In his spare
time he plays the violin, reads, plays golf and tennis, and
gardens.
