Revitalized Paper Craft with Lee Clements

by Jim Cobb Juil 29, 2010 Last comment posted on Juil 29, 2010

Individually made cards bring lasting pleasure to the recipients who often treasure the article of friends or family creativity as an extension of that person. Similarly albums which celebrate memories of special times and family growth can be made so much more special by personal touches of creativity. Finding fresh ideas for scrap booking involves thinking about the occasion, content of the photos or characteristics and desires of the people involved. Once the general idea has been established the variety of scrap booking techniques are endless.

Lee Clements is one of those artists whose output is prodigious and whose whole life has been involved with visual creativity in many forms. Before turning to scrap booking Lee painted in a variety of mediums including, oils, acrylics, water colour and mixed media. She particularly likes realistic flowers but her art is not limited to this and she is currently discovering the versatility and unique results of mixed media, focusing on paper craft. Lee is attracted by the quick results, thinking outside of the box and three dimensionality made possible with the use of various mediums.

Over the years Lee has attended many varied workshops which ignited a desire to teach others. She now teaches regularly at workshops, conventions and in her home studio. As such she has been one of Chroma’s promoting artists for years, is a member of Chroma’s Teacher and Artists Partnering Program and the True Blue Decorative Artists Society . She has also published in the Fine Art and Decorative Painting and Handmade magazines.

When someone else discovers the joy of painting and starts developing as an artist, it is a source of great satisfaction for Lee. Because sharing her work and inspiring others brings her so much joy Lee has laid out for the Chroma site 3 of her most recent projects that will hopefully guide or inspire you on to create beautiful things of your own.
