A native of Burlington, Fowler earned a B.F.A. in communication art and design from Virginia Commonwealth University. He studied drawing at The Art Students League and the National Academy of Fine Arts, both in New York. After graduation, he was an art instructor in the Alamance County Schools for several years before being picked by now-Dean Emeritus John Sneden of the School of Design and Production to head the new Visual Arts Program in 1975.

 During his time at the School of the Arts, Fowler received an Award for Teaching Excellence in 1995, one of the many years that his students won recognition in the annual Scholastic Art Awards. He also taught in the school’s Summer International Arts Program which was held in Rome and Florence. For six years he assisted in the supervision and planning of a Visual Artist Rockefeller Grant which supported lectures, exhibits and workshops on the UNCSA campus.

 Fowler retired from UNCSA in 2005, when he was awarded the title of Emeritus Faculty.

 Among his many contributions to the UNCSA campus and community, Fowler established two endowed scholarships with the UNCSA Foundation, Inc.:  The Clyde Fowler Endowed Scholarship for Visual Arts and The Clyde Fowler Endowed Scholarship for Design and Production.
