Tamie Clark is a retired educator, self-taught artist, sewist, and surface pattern designer from Kennesaw, Georgia. After 31 years of teaching young children, she now channels her lifelong creativity into art inspired by dogs, color, storytelling, and a little bit of whimsy. With artistic talent passed down through her grandmother and great-aunt, Tamie has carried that family tradition into sewing custom dog clothing—especially for pugs—and, most recently, surface pattern design. Through Hudson’s Paws Designs, she creates playful fabric collections featuring pugs, animals, seasonal themes, and cheerful illustrations on Spoonflower, https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/hudsonspaws . Other creative endeavors include Hudson’s Paws Across America, an educational channel for young children featuring her pug, Hudson, on Instagram @hudsonspawsacrossamerica.
