She came to Los Angeles in about 1930, after studying in NY for five years.
She began painting professionally while teaching at Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles and Stickney School of Art in Pasadena and soon gained praise for her Modernist approach. She also worked as a writer on ‘modern art and design’.
In about 1934 she met and associated herself with the “Post Surrealists” led by Lorser Feitelson and Helen Lundeberg. Her paintings were acquired eagerly acquired.
Joining the FederalArts Project/WPA, she was assigned to assist Helen Lundeberg in the creation of a mural at Venice High School in west Los Angeles.
Grace Clements was a brilliant observer of ‘the scene’, as attested to by the sketches she amassed in her estate – many offered here. Some are hastily signed…many are not.
She also had a wicked sense of humor, as can be seen in ‘Have you an expurgated Edition of .and she is holding THE HOLY BIBLE!
