Matt Clark is a lifelong resident of the Southern Utah region, and grew
up on a farm north of St. George, Utah.
He became interested in welding and working with metal at age 15, when he
purchased a welding machine. Little did he know, his early interest in working with metal would lead to an artistic
career as a full-time metal sculptor.
Found metal objects,
steel and stone are used to create his unique sculptures ranging from contemporary to whimsical. The main process
