Debra Clemente - Featured in "The New Impressionists"

Debra Clemente earned a B.F.A. in Visual Communications at University of Kansas. After graduation she worked as a graphics designer and illustrator. Later Clemente returned to oil painting, but she traded her paintbrushes for a pallet knife. She uses bold colors and boldly applies layers of paint to her canvas. With her style of painting, Clemente is able to achieve a new reality for her subject matter—whether it’s a field of flowers or a rolling landscape. Her paintings are full of high energy and vibrant colors.

Debra’s work has found homes in private and corporate collections across the country. She is especially honored to have one of her sunflower field paintings, “Sunshine Grows in Kansas”, hanging in the Kansas Capitol building above the Governor’s private desk as part of the Kansas Governor’s office permanent art collection.


“The New Impressionists” a group show featuring works by an elite group of painters. The exhibit includes three artists new to SouthWind Gallery:  James Pringle Cook and DeAnn Melton, Tucson, AZ; and Neil Patterson, Bragg Creek, Alberta Canada; and three returning artists: renowned artist Stan Herd, and gifted fellow artists Debra Clemente, and Zak Barnes, all of Lawrence, Kansas.  The exhibit will be open until September 15, 2010.
