*NEW* Meeting Program! Lil Clinard: Not Afraid to Experiment
Thursday, September 21, 2023 – 10:00 AM
AGTV Member Lil Clinard began to pursue art and painting full time after her 30-year career in research and technical management. Upon retirement, she took art classes and workshops and began to paint in earnest, teaching herself through practice. Attracted to the elusive quality of light and the wonderful colors that emerge, she began to try different media, surfaces, and techniques. Lil discovered that while fear will hold you back, trying new things can create great results and be a lot of fun!
In 2008, Lil began to exhibit and was encouraged by awards and sales of her artwork. Today, she considers herself a professional artist who paints realistically with a nod to impressionism. Her work is available through her website, her studio, and the Art Market Gallery in Knoxville, Tennessee. She is active in several art organizations including the National Watercolor Society and American Watercolor Society and is current president of the Tennessee Watercolor Society.
Come hear about her journey as an artist who is willing to experiment with no fear!
