Roland Clark was born in New Rochelle, New York, and pursued his formal art training at the Art Students League. His sporting paintings and etchings soon brought him international acclaim, and in 193,8 he was asked to create the Federal Duck Stamp design.

In addition to his work as an artist, Clark was an accomplished writer and illustrator. His first autobiographical collection of sporting articles and short stories, titled Stray Shots, was published in 1931 and was illustrated with thirteen etchings by the artist. Stray Shots was soon followed by Gunner's Dawn and Pot Luck.
