Recently, she donated the proceeds from the sale of one of her paintings to the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida, in honor of a friend with cancer. The painting, the woodland scene “Stand By Me,” is part of the Hayley Gallery exhibit. And, remembering her own chemotherapy, Clements established Locks and a Lift, a foundation that provides cancer patients with wigs and rides home from their chemo treatments.
Clements, originally from Newark, Ohio, graduated from and has taught at the Columbus College of Art & Design. She has been represented by the Hayley Gallery for about 14 years. She lives with her husband, Tom Clements, in Westerville, where she maintains a home studio and paints constantly. She said she feels edgy and out of sorts when she hasn’t painted. She works quickly, applying paint with brushes, spatulas and, sometimes, her fingers.
She said she enjoys shifting back and forth between representational and abstract art, finding that the tension from that movement makes her bolder and improves her paintings.Crowd-pleasing florals include “Iris,” a large blue-green scene of flowers; brassy sunflowers in “Ready, Set, Pose;” and the rose and orange blooms in “Floral Forward.”
Clements is particularly adept at capturing pathways, whether they are heading into the woods or toward the ocean. “Biltmore Azaleas” and “Biltmore Spring Shadows,” with their inviting greenery and blossoms, each make viewers want to walk into the painting.
She is so talented - I’ve always enjoyed her work!
