Sandy Lynam Clough is both an author and an artist. She has written or illustrated 28 gift books and sold over one million of these books. A fourth generation artist, Sandy got her earliest art training and encouragement from her artist father and from her mother. She began selling her paintings as an art major at Mississippi College. Sandy has a Master’s Degree in Art Education, but her heart is in painting instead of teaching. Mississippi College has twice named her “Art Alumnus of the Year.” Sandy Clough creates beautifully realistic paintings and designs that are both fresh and contemporary, yet her painting is fine art. This combination is uniquely Sandy Clough and appears on many licensed products. Both her art and her writing are inspired and grounded by her Christian faith.
