Chris Clamp is from a small town in South Carolina called Leesville. Since childhood, art has always been a passion of his, and a way to connect with other people. After high school, he attended Winthrop University to hone his skills, and discover his voice. At Winthrop, he met several talented artists and professors that were most helpful and inspiring. He worked at Winthrop University Galleries, which then led to a job working for Jerald Melberg Gallery for 15 years. Currently, he is the Operations Manager for Atelier 4 Charlotte, while also maintaining an active studio schedule.
