Calvin "Sonny" Clark

Washington, D.C.

Calvin “Sonny” Clark is an artist whose practice spans woodwork, three-dimensional objects, and a wide range of other mediums and materials. When working with colored pencil or watercolor, his compositions often take on a swirling, radiating, maze-like quality. Simple shapes in Sonny’s hands reveal a gentle complexity, layered with curving, parallel lines that give depth and movement to his subjects.

Though Sonny comes across as the quintessential strong, silent type, his warm smile reveals a spirit that is welcoming, playful, and full of surprises, qualities that shine through in his artwork as well. A member of Art Enables, a community partner program, Sonny continues to explore material, form, and expression, creating works that captivate with both subtlety and vibrance.
