University of Georgia College of Education emerita professor Claire Clements will exhibit her new paintings at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia from March 1 through April 30.
An opening reception will be held on Sunday, March 7, from 1:30-3:30 p.m. in the botanical garden’s Visitor Center. The public is welcome to attend.
The show entitled, “Bottlebrush Buckeye and Beyond,” will include 35 new works on botanical themes that Clements developed using her own technique of “cut paper paintings.” Exhibiting at the botanical garden is by juried invitation.
Clements served as an associate professor and outreach training and technical assistance coordinator in the Institute on Human Development and Disability from 1979-97. She also taught art education to 1,000 in-service teachers. Works that she created as part of UGA’s Institute of Ecology’s Sea Grant Program are in the permanent collection at the Georgia Museum of Art.
