ELLIE CLEMENS, an American artist now living in the South of France, is originally from New England, where she has exhibited in galleries and shows and won numerous prizes. She has also been awarded the status of "Distinguished Artist" by the Concord Art Association of Concord, Massachusetts. Ellie and her husband now live permanently in Espéraza, in the Aude department of France. Her favorite subject is the landscape, and it is now the vistas around her home in the Upper Valley of the Aude that inspire her artwork. But her works go beyond a representation of landscape features simply as rocks, trees or fields. She treats these objects, instead, as areas of color and shape, translating the landscape into vistas of color and light, softness and brilliance, clear, giving to the viewer a new perception of everyday scenes.
