Diane Clement

I have been drawing and painting since the age of two. Having grown up in Georgia, I spent a lot of time outdoors observing nature and the beauty of even the smallest things and their often-unexpected relationship to each other.

I am obsessed with painting the understated, often ignored or taken for granted, every day, background pieces of nature, and life, with vivid colors and energetically thrown paint, and more.

To visually develop these observations in an abstracted way, frequently presenting the everything of everyday of life and nature, in juxtaposition. I work almost exclusively outdoors with Mother Nature incorporating all that she brings to the experience.

I’m inspired by everything; I am driven by passion to translate observations in my way, inviting the viewer to relate to and connect with my work, on their own terms.

Painting freely and being able to speak freely through painting, results in work which has been described as “Freedom Made Visible”.
It is the light, the darkness and beauty of art from the soul.
