Shirley Clement (1922–2002) was an American painter whose work reflects a lifelong commitment to expressive color, texture, and form. Born at the beginning of the 20th century, she developed a distinctive visual voice that often blended abstraction with lyrical, nature-inspired elements, showcasing her sensitivity to mood and surface. Educated and active during a period when American art was expanding beyond strict realism, Clement exhibited in regional galleries and arts venues, contributing to mid- to late-century artistic dialogues rooted in both modernist and personal expressionist traditions. Her paintings are recognized for their atmospheric richness and dynamic use of paint, and her work continues to be appreciated by collectors and admirers of 20th-century American art.
