lemente Ettrick, a visual artist, completed a career running his own advertising design company in New York City before starting Clemente's Palette. Nowadays, he spends most of his time painting in his home studio. He primarily uses pastels and oils to paint dancers whose live performances he has attended. Driven by his fascination with the human figure, he seeks to capture their physical and emotional expressions.
"What I hope to do through my paintings," he says, "is help the viewer take part in the experience of the performance. I want to capture the spirit and preserve the memories for the audience."
