Tommy Ray Clark, Taylor County, KY (1943-2014) Professor Emeritus of Campbellsville University, he taught art for 38 years. Tommy's faith in God and his family were always his priorities, and Judy used to say that Tommy had two loves: art and her, and she wasn't always sure whether she was first or not. He loved taking his children and grandchildren to the zoo, camping with Boy Scouts, planning and sculpting original birthday cakes for his children's birthdays, coming up with off the wall Halloween costumes, and sitting with a grandchild in his lap and drawing "pictures made to order."

Professor Emeritus of Campbellsville University, he taught art for 38 years. Tommy's faith in God and his family were always his priorities, and Judy used to say that Tommy had two loves: art and her, and she wasn't always sure whether she was first or not. He loved taking his children and grandchildren to the zoo, camping with Boy Scouts, planning and sculpting original birthday cakes for his children's birthdays, coming up with off the wall Halloween costumes, and sitting with a grandchild in his lap and drawing "pictures made to order". He spent hours inside and outside of the classroom working with students, sharing his talent and knowledge with them. He regularly exhibited in art exhibits, was a juried member of the Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen, and the Kentucky Crafts Marketing Program. His preferred medium was clay, creating both wheel and hand sculpted works. He also worked in watercolor, and occasionally created one-of-a-kind special occasion cards for individuals which featured a caricature of the honored recipient. He painted a mural on a wall at Taylor County Rescue Squad, helped plan the layout for the "Journey to Easter" pageant at Campbellsville Baptist Church, created personalized mugs for many new faculty and employees at Campbellsville College, and many other works. This quotation really describes Tommy: "A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist." - Louis NizerIn lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials take the form of donations to the Art Department at Campbellsville University, and can be made at the funeral home.
