Sandy Lynam Clough creates beautifully realistic paintings and designs that can only be described as “Fresh-ditional”! They are both fresh and contemporary, yet her painting is fine art. This combination of fresh and traditional is uniquely Sandy Clough and appears on many licensed gifts and home accents.

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, and used her art to represent her college as Miss Mississippi College and Second Alternate to Miss Mississippi. Although she has a degree in Art and a Master’s Degree in Art Education, her heart was in painting instead of teaching. Mississippi College has twice named her Art Alumnus of the Year.

Her career began with original paintings and limited and open edition prints. Now products featuring her art are available throughout the United States, Canada, Australia¸ New Zealand, China, Turkey and Russia. For over 25 years Sandy’s art has been licensed for hundreds of items, including home decor, table top, garden flags, gifts, kitchen textiles, stationery, framed art, calendars, paper tableware, recipe binders, quilt fabrics and much more.

In 2010, Harvest House Publishers presented her with their Harvest Gold Award in recognition of the sale of 1,000,000 gift books using her art, several of which she also wrote. She has authored and/or illustrated 30 gift books. Her latest book is the devotional journal, “A Garden of Hope”. Both her art and her writing are inspired and grounded by her Christian faith.

At Christianbook.com, we've formed an especially close relationship with Sandy, and are proud to represent her unique designs, each a beautiful gift to give or an elegant complement to your home decor.
