Clark was an artist, author, and sportsman, born in New Rochelle, New York. He studied art at the Art Students League in New York and enjoyed hunting waterfowl in the marsh lands around Long Island Sound. After marriage he settled in the Chesapeake Bay area and devoted himself to depicting water fowl and game birds in etching, drypoint, water color and oils. Most of his work was exhibited in the New York area. His books are, Stray Shots, Gunner's Dawn, Pot Luck, and Roland Clark's Etchings, which contains reproductions of about 70 etchings. Clark was a supporter and member of Ducks Unlimited, Inc. and was chosen to do the 1938 Federal Duck Stamp Design.
