Sam Fink is an original. A multi-talented artist of inimitable range, he first learned to hand-letter from his father, sitting hour after hour practicing the craft. He and his wife Adele raised two sons while Sam studied at the National Academy and the Art Students' League. For two decades he worked as an art director at world-renowned advertising agency Young & Rubicam. Later, he taught at the Pratt Institute and made professional contributions to Lands' End.

For the past twenty years, Sam has begun to teach and entertain adults and children alike with vibrantly illustrated texts of American history. Along with The Constitution of the United States of America, he has produced The Gettysburg Address, The Fifty-six Who Signed, and The Declaration of Independence: The Words that Made America. Since creating The Constitution for Welcome in color, he has done the same for The Gettysburg Address. These two were followed by The Book of Exodus and Give it all, Give it Now.
