Born on the East Coast, Judy (Aymar) Klement considers California a perfect setting for her home and studio. Fascinated with the beauty of her surroundings, Judy aims to capture them as art in her award winning Impressionistic-Realistic style.
Original paintings as well as her Giclee prints are in private and corporate collections here and abroad. Her Fantasy, Sports and Biblical murals adorn fine homes and establishments across the nation.
Portraiture is Klement's love. Judy takes candid studio photos in a relaxed setting while getting acquainted with her subjects. She can give you a great 'hair day', change an outfit, and do modifications. Adept at creating paintings of departed relatives, Judy prefers that you honor your loved ones with a portrait while they're still here! It is a most thoughtful and well received gift of love.
