Elaine Clayman

Elaine Clayman is a painter based in Sarasota, Florida with a long standing exhibition history in New York City. Working primarily in oil on linen, her figurative and narrative paintings explore emotional presence, and the quiet psychology of lived experience. Her work seeks to capture empathy, respect and understanding, inviting viewers to linger and consider the inner lives of her subjects. Her work has been recognized as Best in Show honors and is held in the collection of the Bernard Heller Museum in New York City.
